When it influences me most is at the end of the contest in a multiop.
Because of the ten minute rule, I hate to QSY to someplace to work
a mult and then be trapped there for nine more minutes not being
able to make any other QSOs, e.g. if NP4A is called out at 2330Z 
Sunday on 160.  If it happens that I am CQing my brains out on 20
meters, and only working 30 an hour (80/hr if you count dupes :-),
then the "1 mult is worth 9.5 QSOs" message is a nice reminder that 
making the trip to 160 is probably worthwhile.
