I've heard 2x speedup = 50 ELO I've heard 2x speedup = 70 ELO I've heard 5x speedup = 200 ELO Making an educated guess based on these numbers, I'd say you would get about 50-80 ELO from a 2x speedup. Best case, you get 80 for a 2x speedup, which is 16 ELO for a 20% speedup. Worst case is that you get a 10 ELO improvement. In other words, it is not that significant, but certainly you always want to be faster (assuming everything else is equal, and you don't make your code hard to read or maintain or introduce bugs).
