I believe the reason that many of these things are true was because the batteries put out a slightly higher voltage.
"To be precise, they deliver 1.7 volts, which is 13 percent more juice than the 1.5 volts of alkalines. (In both cases, the voltage diminishes as the batteries empty.)"
At a higher voltage, normal resistors found in RC devices, flash bulbs, and flashlights charge faster and burn brighter. And since power is proportional to the sqare of the voltage, more power is consumed.
