It might consume a bit more of cpu time, but it very well might consume less, depending on which freetype settings you're using, and the fonts you're using.

(I'm pretty sure that the autohint freetype override is faster than the original lib, for example).

I never really benchmarked any of this, but if there is an effect on battery life (either way), it should be minimal.
