i don't know the answer to your question, but i'll bet it was practically nil.  i have the esperanto version of the first book, unread because i didn't enjoy the story in english.
loglan was mentioned in robert a. heinlein's "the moon is a harsh mistress", and i don't think loglan profited much from the reference.  i know that when i first read the book, i assumed it was a fictitious language that heinlein made up himself.  it was only after i became aware of loglan on my own that i found references to the story and reread the book.
