I had a 6.9% increase in speed if I compare the 5 days of riding in the week before with loose straps and hiking shoes to the 5 days of riding in the week after going clipless with cycling shoes. This is for the exact same ride & bike.

Highly recommended, but not just because of the speed increase.
