In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase II has a higher level of transciptional activity than RNA polymerase III, yet products of RNA polymerase II comprise a smaller percentage of total cellular RNA (RNAPII: ~4%, RNAPIII: ~12%). Briefly explain how RNAPII can have higher activity than RNAPIII while also contributing a smaller share of total RNA in a cell at  given moment in time.
