What is the difference between two actions where average torque / revolution is same; however peak instantaneous torque in one revolution is higher in first action. distribution of torque in one revolution is given in the image, the average torque per revolution for both are same.

The difference is exactly what the graph shows. Different amounts of torque at different angles - one peaks higher... There's nothing you can categorize as "impulsive torque" in your example; torque is just torque.
 
Does the one peaks higher has any advantages. even though average torque is same
