It helps there, of course.  However, the major payoff is that operations 
that need to write to the database do not need to wait for a long query 
to end.  Without the replication, a single user running an extremely 
long query can cause many other basic operations to need to wait for 
that query to end.  In a large site, that could mean that logging in or 
posting a bug could be stalled for minutes.
