Then you didn't observe it properly. The battery probably emptied a lot faster

That would make sense, but yes I was checking the battery ( its useful to know how long you have until your MP3 dies...) It didn't change really...

That is an estimated runtime calculated from current battery voltage and a typical discharge curve. If you increased the boost then the "typical" discharge curve coded into Rockbox will not fit your use case and the estimated runtime calculation will be wrong.
Now, it will count down faster than normal (something easily not seen casually) as the battery voltage drops faster than normal - but even as current draw doubles the estimate won't drop 50%.
Llorean:
The "predicted remaining time" won't change, since that's based off of normal settings.
Your player automatically boosts for short periods when it needs to - turning it on all the time guarantees that your battery life will decrease unless for some reason you're always playing file formats it's too slow to decode even when boosting (something you wouldn't do, because your player would always be skipping).

OH? That just sounds like a bug to me. When I had my e250 with rockbox on it, the remaining time ALWAYS would change every couple of seconds...so it was ALWAYS accurate ( my one with rockbox on it now doesn't do that...)

Hmm...is that why the gameboy game I downloaded was skipping alot...( well the sound was, and I changed it so that the max skip frame rate was 6, so that sped up my FPS, and made the music sound better in the game , but it still was skipping slightly...
When my processor boots itself ( with no boost, just the default 30MHZ), does it go from the default 30MHZ to 80MHZ? I'd like to have my processor at 80MHZ all the time, but no 'boost' all the time that drains my battery a bit faster, is that possible?
