electrical conductivity for Sodium vs Potassium

Do you know why the electrical conductivity for NaOH is greater than for KOH for different concentration in mass percent (range 0.5%--5%), but the electrical conductivity at infinite dilution of the K+ is quoted to be greater than for Na+?

 

Someone has the theory this is due to ion pairing, but is not ion pairing in 1:1 electrolytes at low concentration an unimportant effect?
