But how big are those chunks? If they're anything less than 1GB it will not make a world of difference.

Idk, but this much is certian. In situations where you sre looking at a load sfreen in game whivh lasts for however lomg said screen lasts, you will see improvements with the right kimda drive. 

If it takes a game 40 seconds to load a level (keepong you starung at a well designed load screen for 40secs) Wuth sata 3 support and an SSD this can drop that wait timw down to at least 20 secs. 

While that may be the only beneficial use scenario it also happens to be the most important and most easily noticed one.

Not necessarily. As I said loading times are not necessarily bound by raw serial throughput but are also dependant on random access read. If it was just about sequential reading then 40 seconds of loading would mean 10GB of data, which is unlikely. A more likely Scenario would be:

HDD: 40s
SSD (SATA2): 15-20s
SSD (SATA3): 10-15s

That's not a world. And that is only if the CPU can keep up.
