You could tell by looking at the bandwidth usage (This is in Amethyst client. Was intensive on requesting events)

This is just a normal scrolling through global timeline and after looking at hell thread post (4 minutes test).

Do you think this is actually the way it has to be, or may it just be due to clients being rather inefficient an unwise on what to fetch and when to fetch it?

Because in principle fetching text, even seemingly a lot, shouldn't be much worse than fetching all the shit you'll have using some common mainstream platforms.

Well. That's the way it has to be. Because that's how nostr currently works.

And it's also depending on client. At some part, it's being inefficient due to how it works (As amethyst tend to check whenever the event actually exists)

More generally, some clients may fetch way more events than they actually need to, or fetch them at the wrong time.

Some people run a proxy connected to multiple nodes to save bandwidth

I know, that's what bostr is about.
