As an official you have to be more conscious of your primary area to make the 3-man system work well (avoid bad double whistles), you have to watch where your partners are so that you pick up the rotations, and you have to use some brain power on the switches after fouls (who is going tableside/who is staying/long switch or not).

I find 2 man more physically tiring for the reasons Tony gave.
I also find it more mentally challenging exactly because each official has more of everything to worry about.
Once you get the system down 3 man is a joy to work.
