Skip - Here's another way to look at this, I suppose an engineer's 
viewpoint.  Each cylinder is still making about the same amount of 
mechanical power.  But if it isn't getting to the flywheel then it is 
bouncing around inside the mechanism trying to break things. It may not seem 
like much; but think about the amount of work 5 or 10 horsepower can do in 
your shop cutting or hammering metal.
