I guess it depends on the purpose of the sim. If the purpose is to study the people, or just to provide them with experiences, then you can create many more people by running an Earth sim billions of times rather than running a universe sim just once. However much processing power they have, it'll still be finite, so efficiency will always be a concern.

Efficiency is a concern for us,not for a highly advanced civilization. Who knows,they might have created a system that runs on unlimited efficieny. Also we don't even know if our universe is finite,let alone another civilization's creation. The universe itself is just so weird,nothing makes sense.
