Brushless motor efficiency

You probably see this because of the ripple current, so it averages out much higher as battery current. The lower the inductance of your motor, the higher it will be.
Regarding the step between 94 and 95% it might be just inaccuracy of current measurement as mentioned, or another reason could be that PWM frequency changes.
