Default dipole length vs db

hi


I ponder once again , and got a bit confused :

Currently i have a centerfed horiz dipole up pretty high

it's total length is less than 40ft, center feed via my sgc


i was thinking it'd be nice to have a SIGNIFICANT /real order of
magnatude type improvement in 'performance' or gain


my thought therefore went to making the dipole longer (as it's kinda on
the short side now)

so given the effort involved i wonder how much longer do i have to make
it to really extract a sig difference?

thanks
