The effort, I believe, is in how fast you want to cut through something or when you are trying to cut through something thicker than the blade length. Those would require more effort as you might end up "dragging" the saber through something as thinck as a Blast Door.Yeah I believe this as well, but it means that if a blast door can be cut through with a medium amount of effort, than any surface resistance you would face during combat would be negligable, and you wouldnt need to put any weight behind your swings. This changes the whole dynamics of lightsaber comabt as apposed to regular sword fighting - Liam Neeson said it himself, that regular swordfighting requires the fighter to hack at their opponent to do damage, whereas a lightsaber would just glide through their enemy, and totally changes the dynamics of the fighting style. Fast, but very fluid and smooth.
