Of course your mileage may vary, but for example a particular
throughput test that I use gives something like this for execution
time with -jumbo on the fileserver:

0.036u 0.568s 0:08.04 7.3%      0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

and without -jumbo:

0.031u 0.579s 0:23.44 2.5%      0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

So this test gives me almost 3x the throughput with -jumbo, even
though neither of the interfaces on the client or server are
configured for larger packets and everything goes over the wire in
fragments.
