Last week an EWR - LAX flight on the 75B used an aircraft that arrived from MCO at gate C80 but was towed a few hours later to C3 to depart from C134. Meanwhile one of the TATL flights HAM if I remember correctly used C80 ridiculous if you ask me.
A large number of the C3 domestic departures arrive as international arrivals. My guess is that there are not enough gates and space in the immigration hall for the large number of concurrent international arrivals in the C terminal.
