It seems curation efficiency can indeed be higher if you cast your vote within 5 minutes of a post being published. I've been observing different voting patterns, and sometimes early votes (even within the first 2 minutes) show a significant boost in rewards. This could be influenced by factors like the distribution of other curators’ votes or fluctuations in the reward curve.

Right. You give back some rewards by voting before 5 minutes, but it's possible to make that up (and more) by moving closer to the front of the line. It all depends on the size and timing of the votes that follow you.

Indeed, if efficiency is high, its profitable!! even after leaving some more rewards to the author. Like i said it depends on the reward curve Plus , a major factor is how much vote the author gets after you voted

Thanks, corrected, it seems still within these five minutes the highest return.

That is true, now I remember it was changed, but still it depends if someone who comes with higher % of Upvote after 3 and before 5 minute then he got higher curation reward

Interest should have a limit. A steemian upvotes a post without ever reading it properly. If not, how to vote before 5 minutes? It's not a vote, it's a waste of energy. I manually keep track of votes and time. Feel free to upvote posts of good enough quality within the rules.
