Well, bumping the cache doesn't work how you expect. Rockbox by default uses all free RAM for buffer anyway. What increasing the "anti-skip" buffer does, is make it start refilling that buffer earlier. This way, if it takes longer to refill than expect (slow codecs, or whatever) hopefully an underrun won't occur. So yes, increasing the Anti-Skip buffer *will* actually decrease battery life, because it causes slightly more disk access to occur over long periods of time.
As for the skippinp while playing music, one of the most common causes right now is the Peakmeter shown on many While Playing Screens. The video driver (among other things) still needs work, and it's believe that the very active nature of the peakmeter is what's causing this problem.
