Well needless to say that makes a huge difference as the compressor
isn't needed as much.

Sorry, but that is an illogical conclusion. The only component of the
air conditioning system that removes heat is that of the refrigeration
(compressor-condenser-evaporator) cycle. Running a circulation fan only
redistributes the existing air. Over the long term the compressor has
to run equally long to remove a given amount of heat.
