It's a bootloader, so as far a power saving/uptime goes, nothing. What is
should do is allow you to boot from USB powerwithout the battery inserted, or
with a heavily discharged battery. This stops you having to resort to
external chargers, or the dubious procedure of jump-starting with an external
4.5V PSU, if somehow you manage to overly discharge your battery.
