Eaton feed location

I saw these two quotes in another thread:

I don't think the Eaton basic design is overspun, but I think the fact that we have a top loader makes it close to call.
And
The top loader very much limits the efficiency of our stock eatons.
Why would an Eaton (or Works or whatever) be more efficient if it was rear fed? A roots type pulls air in from the top, throws it around the side, and into the engine. How would a rear-feed help?

A screw type compresses the air along the length of the supercharger. As such, it makes sense that it would be more efficient if rear-fed.

Just curious.
