Well in the moment it's not terribly useful information though it can help you if you feel like you could spin faster but aren't sure if it would be efficient to do so, I suppose. But I would think really it would be most useful as a long term guide. You might see that you typically spin 15 rpm slower than you should so it would be beneficial to gear down and pick up your cadence a bit.
