The "thermal mass" concept as pertains to setting your thermostat is a myth. A greater difference between the temperature of your home and the outdoor temperature results in faster heat loss. That's the only rule that applies as pertains to efficiency.

I'd also suspect that a furnace is more efficient when running constantly versus running intermittently.
