My numbers say it is physically impossible. Maybe with forced cavitation or the like.
The only possible scenario is equal performance at all reasonable flowrates, even then, equal is a matter of measurement resolution.

Okay, somewhat poorly worded I admit.
For a practical example of what I refer to look at the Swifetch MCW5000-A performance curve.
Near dead-flat above 1GPM. Sure it gets very slightly better, but not enough to ever warrant anyone's bother to chase for it, and certainly not with the extra pump heat that would be required to achieve it.
So basically a performance curve like that, where the knee is at 0.25-0.5gpm, is achievable with an Eheim 1046 and 6mm ID tubing, and leads against all "US" blocks at least up until 2.0gpm is being fed to the "US" blocks.
Now
that would make me sit up and take notice (and throw the towel in).
