(I always wonder with tea cup is energy drain treasure better or more potion energy) Slower energy drain is always the winner in the long run (pun intended :P). It's a close call compared to a perfect run with the speed increase, but it trumps the potions since you'll only collect most of your energy in the first part of the run.

However... if you want an accurate calculation of your total run time, it will be very difficult as there are many factors in play. You could have a potion generating potions every x seconds, but at the same time you might have a treasure that gives you higher base speed, which means you will get further, which means you will get more potions from the stages, which in turn means longer run... basically I would have to model what the stages look like and make a database of every combi and treasure.
 * P How about calculate the equivalent energy? As if energy drain 25% slower is 1.25 times the current energy plus all the potions during stage?(idk if this is the actual math :P) If you have the algorism then it shouldn't be too big I suppose.
