Yea Skyactiv was meant to be primarily a fuel efficiency thing, but let's face it, Mazda engines make terrible specific torque and power relative to the competition. The Skyactiv program is supposed to bring comprehensive efficiency improvements that will certainly benefit driveability and power.
Even if they refuse to increase the engine power, a more efficient engine could probably be lighter (they could downsize if a newer smaller engine matches the power of the older bigger one) so it is still a good thing for performance. Not to mention their new transmissions are supposed to be lightened and stuff too.
