The reason for almost all girth gains is this: expansion of the tunica (girth-wise) beyond its normal erection point through the pressure caused by an abnormal amount of blood being in the tunica. Jelqing, squeezes, bends, clamping, and pumping may all cause this. Clamping is by far the most efficient, but also the most fatiguing. Manual work (squeezes in particular, along with bends) are advantageous because it is easier to target particular sections of the tunica with them. Pumping is useful because of 1) the easy ability to use moist heat and 2) its propensity to cause both length and girth gains simultaneously.
I believe the reason pumpers generally have the best girth gains is because clamping is less widespread, as well as newer, and pumping is easier to do (people seem to enjoy it more). Almost all of my girth gains are due to clamping, personally, excluding some base and head girth caused by hanging/swinging weights and squeezes, respectively.
Regarding your interest: clamping is the most efficient stimulus in a time/gains ratio.
