You are correct in the straighter and smoother the airflow, the better!

All I was trying to say is that the Porsche engineers had to take a lot more into consideration than just performance. I'm not saying that they came up with a perfect compromise or even a clever one, just saying that there is alot of of often conflicting goals to try to meet in a single design.
