Only in extreme circumstances does the cost (in processor time and I-cache footprint) translate to a tangible benefit - circumstances which usually resort to hand-coded assembly anyway. It shouldn't be 10%, unless it's cache effects. And for leaf routines (which never establish a frame), this is a non-issue.

I wrote a blog about it years ago too, however as time has marched on, guidance has changed a bit. Jonathan Kehayias has written an blog post How much memory does my SQL Server actually need , with a formula that helps establish the baseline for the maximum memory value. For many years I've found users making the same mistakes.

SQL Server 2014 SP2 and later produce runtime (“actual”) execution plans that can include elapsed time and CPU usage for each execution plan operator (see KB3170113 and this blog post by Pedro Lopes). Total elapsed time is 933ms with 6,673ms of CPU time with a warm cache.
