I suspect you may be right, but there is really no way to know without trying it.

OH NO! Don't go there - FI will be on you like white on rice!  JUST KIDDING!
Seriously, off boost power isn't the issue so much as responsiveness - at least not for me. But then I'm less concerned with getting more power than I am with optimizing efficiency...
