Question "stirring the pot"

I've looked through Wagtendonk and searched this thread but can't find an answer to this question.

Aerodynamically, why does a helicopter settle when constant unneeded corrections are made with the cyclic in a hover? Or why does efficiency decrease with the same movements in forward flight.

The effect must act to reduce TRT but how? Is it simply because you're increasing lean-back angles for a fraction of time?

Any help would be much appreciated...


Thanks
