I'm not sure if this is better or not, but I bet a lot of energy is wasted when you're not running hot water and the hot water is sitting in the pipes and eventually cools down. I know that there are re-circulation systems that keep the hot water running around constantly between the closed faucet and the heater so that it doesn't just sit and cool down. I would think that it would take less energy for the water heater to heat slightly cooled water rather than just having that water cool down in the pipes and go to waste as you turn on the faucet and wait for the hot water to start flowing from the heater again.

It was like taking a shower in a wind tunnel. The air entrained in the reduced volume of water made it like standing in a cold hurricane. You could not get warm. I took it out and threw it in a drawer. Have they licked this problem? My company (large electric utility) gave these out about 10-15 years ago and I installed one then.
