It means to disconnect one UGen from another, i.e. the opposite of the ChucK operator when used to connect UGens (e.g, 'SinOsc sin => dac'). Any reduced CPU load would be due to disconnecting a UGen from the processing pipeline (typiclaly stemming from the dac destination).

This is the 'UnChucK' operator.
I can't explain in deep detail what it does, but in general it breaks
particular connection between Ugens (at the same time reducing CPU
load).

You can read about it here [1] and see in example here [2].
