Your bread needed less attention than it would have had you not had the machine, even though it baked in approximately the same amount of time.
Which would make sense for anything whose operation *changes* each time it goes through its process.
So for sealing an EV suit, there is no change to the process - it doesn't need to 'think' about how or if it should seal, only that it got the order TO seal up, and all the seals need to activate.
Some Matrix (wireless) bonuses seem to make sense under the 'more processing helps' theory. Other bonuses fail that test and thus doesn’t make sense given that as an explanation.

Matrix/wireless bonuses, and the 'on all the time' effect it has breaks the game for me. I just can't see breaking into a facility with these 'aggregate processing bonuses' and NOT having the corp first think jam you, while leaving their guys alone. Maybe that can't be done in 5th, but it could in 4th - but in 4th you didn't lose a bunch of functionality when it happened, just communication...
