I recently planed a bunch of lumber and intentionally let the bag fill until it was about a foot from the separator. Much fuller than I'd ever let it go before. The chips and dust entered the bag, spiraled down to the bottom (the top of the pile, actually), and stayed there. No swirling after the fact. When I emptied the bag, virtually no chips or dust fell out of the filter, despite a good banging from the outside. I was impressed.
...since it prevents the churning as the bag fills up, and the filter stays cleaner, that means you get the same suction all the way till the bag fills up...
