Excellent
 It really is much faster with both downloading and starting up. Feels more responsive too (opening My Games took longer before I think).

I don't have anything to download, but it definitely starts up faster.

 No increase in DL speeds for moi, as far as I can tell. It's a very small sample selection, but the download rate seems to be, on average, the same. Some people have reported double speeds in beta client. Didn't seem to start up any faster, either.

I noticed a large increase. It's taking advantage of all my bandwidth at times. I've gotten it to peak at 2.5MB/s so far when downloading Portal, but for the most part my download speeds are around 1.8MB/s which is a rather large improvement.
Game launch time has improved slightly, but I noticed a large decrease in exit time. So far, I approve
