This is certainly true.

I don't think the use of the word "significantly" is warranted here.
On a reasonably loaded box, Linux can fork and exec quite
efficiently.  However, given the above condition (that you are under
significant level of traffic) it will provide a savings.  If your load
is mostly below 1.0, I don't think you will see a "significant"
improvement.  Although actual benchmark number would be hard to
dispute.
