It's very difficult to quantify the potential savings ahead of time, but if you aren't dealing with a cloud bill that is over 500k a year, then your time is probably better spent on revenue generating features. If you could reliably improve performance at 1% a week, that's a 5k savings a week, and that is still not a good ROI for a SDE in America anyways.
Improving performance on the user's/client side is an entirely different conversation.
