Hopefully, it gives some battery juice as well.

I can't see how that would help. We are talking about removable media here (CF, MMC and USB sticks) and you can't transfer content to those while they are inserted in the iLiad. Also, while they are in use in the iLiad the only writes to the media that occurs should be when updating the manifest file.
So, for updating content on a removable media it's the PC that is the limiting factor. Regarding battery life I really can't see that the forced sync after updating the manifest file can't really have any big impact.
