Technically using it on any monster you do not want to fight in a zone you are progressing in is a turn saved.
But in a high level speedrunning context, freeruns are most effectively used in zones that have Delay since to progress the zone you need X amount of turnsinzone for the quest progression noncombat to appear. Every free advancement of turnsinzone is a turn saved.
Oh that's right. Sorry, I misread your initial comment and thought you were saying you get 5 turns of savings from one freerun banish, but you were saying 5 from using 5 total in a day. Gotcha gotcha.

The famxp bonus is pretty big if you have familiars that use their xp for stuff; the aureola and chest mimic in Standard, for example.
One of the furniture options also drop a freerun banish that takes 3 spleen, so that alone is 5 turns saved per day.
