Two concepts need to be kept in mind. An increase in pumping requirements for any reason carries a fuel economy penalty. By being able simply to downsize the compressor, the engine avoids some major pumping losses across the intake valve that would occur to get more aggressive in a Miller application with a conventional engine.
