Suppose it has to do with the types of drag a wing encounters at different speeds and flap/slat configs. Parasitic drag occurs at lower speed's over the wing, as the wing changes (cleans up) the amount of drag changes and ofen moves inboard. Thus the inboard aileron performing better at higher speeds. Aircraft often land with deice fluid still evident on the fuscelage and other areas.
