How much of a current boost do resonant capacitors give MOTs?

I read somewhere that dual resonant MOTS peak at 3,000v on each transformer when wired with resonant caps, so how much is the secondary current output increased (percentage) on a resonant vs non-resonant MOT?

The arc length and brightness are increased 2-3 times from resonance alone. In addition, the resonant caps make the MOT setup draw significantly less current from the wall.
