That pointed gullet is just going to catch resistance. I think race chains might work so well because there's so much extra room around the teeth for chips to go. Kinda like how a hand saw plugs up easily. It rakes well enough, but there's no more room for chips to go.
Those chips have to get under the chain somehow. It's happening in the clutch cover. Need a vacuum or something hooked up to it, or more distance between the sprocket and tail of the bar for the chips to fall out before getting sent back through.
When the chips get pulled through the rails, they wipe the oil off which further slows things down. I have a well oiling ported 590 seize after every cut in an Ash log because tons of chips would wipe the oil out and cram into the groove. I had to let it rev after the cut for several seconds to let it clear the chips and re-oil before I could let the chain stop, and the pump was maxed out to empty the tank before the gas.
