Is there any difference in load times?

Title says it all.

I believe there was either a review or interview stating that the file system has changed, which where able to decrease the time of loading levels.

I can't try this for myself, because I can't use steam at the moment,however, has anybody playing noticed a difference in loading?

[edit] Do you know if this will be used for the original HL2 in a steam update?

I felt the loading times where amazingly quick. Not 1 of them lasted over 30 seconds.

Yeah, everything seemed a lot quicker to load - I was quite impressed...

Well ain't that awesome. I hope all mods for HL2 are affected by this (such as HL2: Substance).

As a matter of fact, I thought it was mentioned that the files are defragged. I just checked the steam update, and it mentions it has a defrag dialog in the properties menu of the games. I'm hoping this means I can play Black Mesa without any worries :thumbs:
