How much effect do swing by/slingshot maneuvers have on travel-time for various types of drives?
Depends on the escape and orbital velocity of the object being swung by (for slingshots) and on the thrust and escape velocity of the object (for the oberth effect). It's mostly important for drives with low delta-V.
