Diesels are to be loaded between peak torque and peak HP rpm.
Lugging down & losing rpm with the governor at full is to be avoided as well.
Extended operation at low rpms also contributes to the engine running cold due to less heat from compression, and poor fuel burn effiency due to less swirl.
Operation at less than 80% power increases thermal losses, loss of fuel efficiency due to stack losses. The diesel takes a full gulp of air every intake stroke. If the oxygen isn't used the heated air just goes up the stack. The fuel used to heat that unused air came from your tank.
