How *do* you make a toaster more efficient?

I'm surprised no-one's said it. Put the element in a glass envelope so it requires less power to keep it radiating. Then mostly enclose the bread space so it loses less heat.

But of course it's political games driving the desire. If there were a visible worthwhile upside to such designs, would someone not offer them at some point?
