I didn't think it was currently possible to alter the screensaver timer as there isn't an easy way to root the Kindle yet. If you've got root access then you can alter the power management configuration. Just curious as to how Zerodime did it.
The screensaver itself doesn't do anything as you said, eInk screens don't draw any power if they're not being updated. It will make the rest of the Kindle go into sleep mode though so the power consumption from that is slightly lower.
