You wouldn't save much on the dehumidifier for the difference that a problem of higher humidity might cause.
Whether it spins at a higher rate for a shorter period of time or a lower rate for a longer period of time is a rather interesting question. The higher speed would mean more centrifugal action removing the water... but the longer period may allow for more water to ''migrate'' through a ''clump'' of clothes.
I believe the manufacturers are using the higher RPM option, but I wonder if anyone studied the value of the longer in relation to energy use?
