It looks like it takes 100 mill exp per % point (10 billion exp all together) from 55-56.
I don't know how much it costs for 56-57 so I can't figure out the energy to % ratio for that...but I can do so for 55.
Average exp per energy point through random battles using mists to get extra energy with the money you earn is 3 million per energy point.
If your just fighting random battles at 55 then every 80 energy would be worth 2.4% points. In theory pure random fighting should then get you about 7% a day (since you regen 240 energy a day..which is 3*80 or the 2.4% increase).
PvP can still help that drastically at this point even with only 5-6 good targets. 54 level characters are worth about 20mill, 55 are worth about 22.5 and 56 are worth 25 mill. Round that to about 23 million per pvp battle....which is a net worth of almost 12 million per energy point.
At 23 mill a pop it takes 4-5 pvp battles per % point...so if you grab 10-12 each day that will give you an extra % point in advancement towards 56.
So I'd say optimal advancement without the use of gems is about 8-9% a day. Using gems though you can boost that up to 10-11%.
Even if lvl 56-57 is double the cost (20 billion) you should still be able to pull out a 5% increase per day if you really work hard at it.
Steven seems to be holding to that fairly close.
