Increased thermal evaporation of oil, too. Piston ring land and skirt 
temperatures in a loaded engine can easily get up into the range where 
oil is "smoking," and much of the cylinder wall that the rings travel 
over is directly exposed to the hot combustion gas for a good part of 
the power stroke.
