Honestly I never had to do this before - I just think it's a neat trick. The only time I ever had a cable bust I was just a few miles from home on the road bike so I huffed it in the 11t. But looking at this, I'd say it's enough to hold in the gear you want, as there actually isn't very much resistance in a derailleur spring.
