Default MacPro RAM sweetspot?

Other than just saying "the more the better", has anyone found the RAM sweet spot, where you see the most significant performance increase?

At some point it probably has to reach a "point of diminishing returns", just trying to see what that point might be. I don't use many VI's other than Structure.
