Default Duct work insulation, improvement worth effort?

I was up in the attic area yesterday contemplating some electrical work, put my hand on the large flexible supply duct from the furnace ,it was surprisingly warm. The heating season is not the issue in Florida but insulation or lack cuts both ways, how much cooling energy is lost to the duct work in summer, would wrapping it with more insulation be worth the time , money and effort ?
