In rats, it was found to increase activity without changing the total expression (amount) of acetylcholinesterase.
Another study found that is did inhibit acetylcholinesterases.
This seems contradictory so in short, it has not been fully studied. But remember the main effect is blocking adenosine receptors.

Does caffeine make us hyperactive?
Caffeine causes excitement of the nervous system (unlike alcohol that has depressant action). Yet it causes mildest increase in activity such as insomnia. Tolerance takes away even this effect.
Can caffeine promote hyper-activity?
Yes,
How does caffeine affect the heart?
Well, caffeine (like most pyschoactive drugs) exerts its effect on us by altering the activity of some of our neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are the nervous system's way of conveying messages between neurons, and also to muscle tissue. Some neurotransmitters that caffeine is known to increase the activity of are norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. The increase in norepinphrine is likely what causes the heart rate to increase, however each of these neurotransmitters has some stimulatory effects. Norepinephrine, however, is a powerfully stimulating neurotransmitter; it is associated with the 'fight or flight' response, which of course includes an increased heart rate. Caffeine can also cause ectopics (extra beats) in the heart if you have too much
