Having a huge injector doing a small amount of work (in a small motor) isn't a great idea. This is where your idle quality and low engine speed operation suffer.
This makes perfect sense, now I understand. I had an idea that atomization would be affected, but wanted to know for sure. Can't remember if I read it here or just had the idea in my mind, but I kinda thought that 85% would be optimal as black00chev mentioned.

Good info here
