There isn't really a formula to the art of rerouting however as monkey lover says it can be useful to reroute to save an atc delay purely to protect on time performance.
As for monetary value, if the winds allow us to remain within block time we sometimes find it cheaper to fly a longer routeing as the countries we fly over on the day charge lower navigation fees!!

I think it all depends on your kind of operation and pressures to satify on time performance.
Scheduled & charter / short & long haul.... All different financial decisions that would have to be considered.
However, from my limited experience a short haul schedule operator should reroute if avail, particularly on first wave to protect operational integrity, as generally the costs involved are limited and the benefit of keeping the first flight on time makes a huge difference to this type of carriers punctuality..

Are you suggesting by filing your flight plans as early as possible you get less of a delay? This is not the case if that is what you mean. If a regualtion is put in place it will affect all aircraft operating through regardless of the time it was filed at.
As G-MANN stated earlier you will find airlines operaing on longer routes as the countries they overfly have cheaper nav charges. A good example would be MAN-TFS to be filed via a Tango route.
