My 2 cents is, low flow through the sump allows the skimmer to grab more crap before it returns to tank. Just my opinion though.

Nothing wrong with your sump return pump contributing to the overall turn over in your display.

Not that skimmers are 100% efficient but if stuff is missed the first time through, it's a loop so there's always next time.
