Using particle-in-cell (PIC) numerical simulations with electron-positron pair plasma, we study how the efficiencies of magnetic dissipation and particle acceleration scale with the initial coherence length $\lambda_0$ in relation to the system size $L$ of the two-dimensional (2D) `Arnold-Beltrami-Childress' (ABC) magnetic field configurations.
