I recall days when Win98 and Ultima Online would eat an entire HD (500Mbs drives were common and affordable at the time). As time progressed, hard drives got larger and larger to a point where there was no longer any need to uninstall less used software in order to shoehorn something new.
These days I go along with that mentality. If there is still a chance that I may use the app or play the game I will leave it on my HD. With a primary Raid array of 2TBs space is not an issue. Obviously if something is either too old or no longer needed it gets nuked.
To me the convenience of not having to reinstall the app is more important than the ability to load it 5 seconds faster.
