Why does undervolting improve performance?

Think of it as a reverse overclock, you're trying to get your CPU to run as fast as possible at the lowest possible voltage without crashing. Instead of trying to increase the voltage and the CPU clock speed. Undervolting you are telling the CPU to try and run at whatever setting it is with limited voltage. This will produce less heat and less heat means it can run at the higher speeds longer. If you get a really good chip, you could undervolt and even OC a bit. Get the highest clock possible, at the lowest voltage possible is the name of the game.
