50% of load, which at that time was using ~20% of search server CPU load. 
It also cut our API node traffic into half (some CPU too), and got our average 
response times for API way nicer:

Also it removed some pressure on API squids, which were misbehaving yesterday, 
and caused API outage.

Also, currently 20% of cluster CPU is being spent on generating atom feeds for 
people who never really subscribed to them. We don't know why, yet, though :)
