What's the advantage of Ruger Mark III's fluted barrel?

I have one of these, with the tapered barrel. Due to resemblance to the Parabellum I refer to it as "the poor man's Luger". It is a real joy to shoot.

If you install the Tandemkross bushing ($10) to eliminate the magazine safety they are much easier to reassemble after takedown. I also performed an amateur "trigger job" by polishing the trigger linkage and it made the pull lighter. Both bushing install and trigger linkage polish are well described in YouTube videos.
