Read the text and answer the question below.
Sophie emailed her team about choosing SafeGuard for their project:
Hi team,
After talking with Jake, I've decided to go with SafeGuard. While SecureSoft is more user-friendly and has a nicer interface, security is our top priority. SafeGuard has stronger encryption and better protection against vulnerabilities, so it's the safer choice.
SafeGuard is also slightly faster because of its more efficient processing. SecureSoft can be a bit sluggish with large data. The only downside is that SecureSoft has more integration options, while SafeGuard may require extra work to connect with other tools.
Thanks for your input! Let me know if you have any concerns. It's no problem if we need to discuss this more.
Yours,
Sophie
What does more efficient processing mean in this context?
It means SafeGuard works faster and uses fewer resources.
It means SafeGuard has a nicer interface.
Interface refers to how a tool looks and feels, not how efficiently it processes data.
It means SafeGuard has more security features.
Security features relate to encryption and protection, not processing speed.
It means SafeGuard has more integration options.
Integration options refer to compatibility with other tools, not how quickly the software processes data.

More efficient processing means SafeGuard can handle tasks more quickly and with fewer system resources.
Sophie says it is slightly faster and SecureSoft can be sluggish with large data, showing that processing speed is an important factor.
