I've been thinking through the same things for the last few weeks. I just discovered dustsweeper. I was voting all my commenters with dust for months.
But what I don't understand is why within 24 hours and why not following a whale vote.

Because your curation reward halves if you vote after 24 hours and it's slashed 8 times (if I remember correctly) if you vote after 3 days or more.
It's not as much about following the whale vote as it is about how rewards are distributed. The higher the stake which votes (not necessarily its vote amount), the bigger slice of the curation pie it gets.Although there have been so many changes to how curation works over time, I might mix things up with a previous change. Update: Yeah, I double-checked, stake is no longer a factor that influences the proportion of rewards one receives. Rewards are distributed proportionally.Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ah, I didn't know this. This is why curators don't curate posts after a day.

Yep, that's why.
I thought that changed on hive with a fork so in my mind it was the same as Leo. I guess I was wrong.

No, Hive still has these curation windows, but 24h is way better than 5 or 15 minutes, the way it was before.

Ok. It's amazing I've only earned 30 hive for curation and thousands for posting. I had my vote weight multiplier for leo set to 10 which meant that my 10% Leo vote gave out 100% value but only took 1% of my hive vote power.
That meant that my leo votes created hive dust and I never went back to curate my hive to give out value or earn. Left a lot of money on the table for people.
In the last week or so I have increased my curation efficiency up to 6.7%. It was at 3% when I first looked at it.

I have my weight multiplier for LEO set at 1 since most of the posts I vote for have the 'leofinance' tag.
If you don't vote for a lot of other non-leofinance content, having a multiplier different than 1 doesn't make sense.
