For clients this is still a huge regression with on-disk storage. Games that used to share GCFs no longer do so, which results in gigabytes of duplicated data. If you install any Source 2k9 game you'll notice the installs are no longer minimal (HL2:DM used to take 17MB~ if you had another game installed).
