I always thought it was about diving time. The outer casing by nature would trap air during a dive and thus slow the dive. The more wholes allowed more water in, displacing more air and making for a qhicker dive. The difference may only be 10-20 seconds, but that is an eternity when a destroyer is bearing down on you.
