I am new to IC. Looking at a list of good reactor designs I am wondering why there are designs with a short running time, because it seems their effective eu/t and efficiency are not a lot higher (and sometimes even lower) than with an infinite cycle. So what am I missing?
Why reactor designs with a short running time are better than with infinite cycle?

Well, the more Effective a Reactor is, the more Heat it produces, and so you have to shut it OFF, before it explodes.
But the most Efficient is my 1840EU/t-Waterbucket-CASUC (Infinitecycles)

There is also EU/cost to keep in mind. Only design, that I don't like is http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reactorplanner.html?91d5n0t439u4wsa60us16ag413vgs3no3=1k10101011111521s1r11r10 .
It uses about the same amount of resources like 3 mark I with the same efficiency and lasts only one cycle.
On the other hand this one:

lasts only one cycle
Look again.
