LowCel's got it: efficiency is key. Endurance is the ability to "go long"...higher efficiency should enable that. An efficient stroke/good form will allow one to go faster and longer with a given effort. As for how much can be gained? Who knows. I'm sure this will depend on your current form and deficiencies, strength, how well you can adopt better form....I'm sure many variables. I'm just saying that better form will likely improve results given a similar effort.
