As someone who is always messing about with SS gearing, I can't really notice a 2 gear inch change, but can begin to feel 3 inches; and definitely will notice with a 4 inch change. For what it's worth.
I like to have two single speed bikes available in my garage - a taller gear when I've limited time (or it's really cold) and I want to put in a good work out quickly. And then another bike geared 4 or 5 gear inches lower for those beautiful sunny days when I want to be out sputtering along all afternoon.
