Strange thing I noticed in the keynote is that they claim the disk usage of Snow Leopard is 6 GB less than Leopard mostly because of compression.
It's probably 6 GB because Leopard (10.5) ran on both Intel and PowerPC chips ("Universal" binaries) but Snow Leopard (10.6) only runs on Intel; they probably stripped all the PowerPC bits.
Even things like ls(1) are universal binaries, so if you take every program and library, and cut it's use by half, it can add up to quite a bit.
