Will you please explain how exactly a wire tailpiece can, on many instruments, reduce string tension?

It's a little better now.
I moved bridge down. I have notches on F holes (right being hole where E string is and left being hole where is G string) but they are not in the same line. Bridge was in line with notch on the F hole on the G string side. Now I moved bridge a little down (toward tailpiece) and everything works better now. It's not perfect, but it's ok. Now my E and A string sound better and have more punch.
