With the dryer we have now, we have no other choice--the other settings are just too wimpy to get anything dry. As it is, you have to run it on high for 140 minutes to get a full load dry. I'm going to have to get a rack.

Yeah, we use the apartment complex's machines, and they suck, so I always use the High setting. I also recall always drying my stuff at my mom's on the high setting. I dunno... I've never really had any clothes "wear out" on me. Maybe I renew my wardrobe too frequently for anything to have time to wear out, even using the high setting on my dryer.
Then again, I have a few staple pieces that I've been wearing for several years that are in excellent shape, and I know I've always dried them on high, as well. I really don't know the answer.
As far as energy savings... I never use "heat dry" on my dishwasher, if that makes up for it. And we don't have air conditioning...
