I understand the reasons behind why operators like to use reduced thrust on take-off - noise abatement, prolongs engine life etc.

My question is, does anyone know how significant the effect is? Especially with jet engines - would conducting every take-off at normal take-off power significantly reduce the engine time between overhauls? Or is it more a theoretical engineering idea that's just become ingrained into airline operating culture?
