Faster refresh will mitigate leakage, so you can run your DRAM hotter, but I don't see how that helps energy savings. Refresh means current flows out of the cell, through the sense amplifier, and then current flows back in, through the word driver. More refresh means more current. More current flow, more power consumption. This does not seem to argue for energy savings.
