Time Savings.
Imagine that Alice and Bob go into a room and Alice explains an interesting idea to Bob. They leave the room together after time t.
If a method exists, whereby Alice and Bob can instead leave the room in t-x time, with Bob knowing the same information, then this method of communicating can be said to yield a time savings of x compared to the previous method.
It's not an answer to my question about the purpose, it's a restatement of another aspect of it efficiency.
(Maybe you mean "stopping an argument is sometimes in order"? I agree, but that an argument didn't proceed still doesn't warrant you to assume as settled in the conversation things that your interlocutor doesn't agree with.)
