Total friction. You won't need numbers if you try it out - the difference is immediately obvious if you disengage the feeder drive cog and slide the filament into the tubing - much less friction.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

My guess would be higher friction in the bowden due to the more extreme curve on that position. It's basically why I made this;

though this should probably not be necessary with a good feeder....

Nevertheless, using a PTFE Bowden tube 8-12" longer than OEM will reduce friction considerably.
Here's the stuff you want: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KJDE67G Also comes in 10" length.

Some measured numbers for this reduced friction would be interesting. Are you referring to total friction or friction per length?
