Yes, Trevor is right, the line O P transistor must be turned on hard to function as a switch. The turn on and off drive waveform must have sharp edges, otherwise the transistor will operate in linear mode if the waveform has soft edges.
A saturated transistor dissipates low power when turned on hard.
