it also makes the point about tuning. chasing those last 3-4 hp? need or want a tune. its all relative to that statement.

at what point is it worth it?
I couldn't care less about a number. As long as I'm faster than the competition around the track, that's all that matters. When it's hot out and I'm losing a few hp, so is the competition. If I'm loosing significantly more than the other guy, that's a problem, but 2 hp for example is not going to be a deal breaker... hell +/-15 hp still makes less of a difference in my lap times than making driving mistakes or not.
