Because the amount of time it takes to pull 25 as opposed to 100 doesn't scale linearly. It might take 1 minute to pull 25, then another 10 to pull 75 more. How long does it take to kill, 5 minutes? You're talking 10 minutes for a pull, 20 minutes to kill (30 total) as opposed to 1 minute to pull, 5 minutes to kill x 4.

Thats not how pulling a swarm works, u run a big circle and arent overlaping previous spots, so the pull time is linear.

Also when you only have 25 mobs u spent some time only killing 24 mobs... 23 mobs.. 22 mobs... 10 mobs... 5 mobs... 1 mob....
and u got to do that 4 times

When you have 100 you almost are always killing 25 mobs, only got to do the 24-1mobs once. Much more efficient.

/shrug, I have a hard time believing it is linear. If you go in a big circle for 100 mobs your average might be linear, but 25 mobs your circle is smaller and you don't have to travel far from pull spot, and there's less likelihood another bard or group is taking mobs out of your area. I also have a hard time believing bards will want to go 4x as long on the actual kill without a break, seeing as carpal tunnel is a serious concern for many people.
