Efficient for those speeding in the left lane, perhaps, but not
efficient for those who want to go at a steady speed faster than that of
traffic in the remaining lanes.  Your ideal seems to be a world in which
everybody either goes really fast, or really slow, and those who want to
go at some intermediate speed must constantly change lanes.

Every vehicle in any lane is on the average passing vehicles in the
lanes to its right.  Thus every lane is used only for passing.  There is
nothing special about the leftmost lane.  "Passing" as an issue is a red
herring.  The real issue is "everybody else move right so I can have a
lane to myself".  That's not about to happen, so you might as well get
used to it.
