Not the same thing. The calorie restriction experiments had pretty severe restrictions. Done to people, those people would be underweight

But one could reasonably suppose there is a continuous transition between here and there? So going 1/10 of the way should still bring some benefits.

Not according to any data I've seen. It's either "you barely have enough food to survive, so your metabolism is so slow that you live longer" or no benefit whatsoever.
