So it's hard to say what the effect is generally, but the disk space saving is definitely there. If you are worried about seek times, you might want to turn on filesystem compression and run some sort of defragmentation if available.
I don't think compression should decrease *seek* nontrivially (but it is another way to save space).
Once I wondered if using reflinks instead of hardlinks might be better from some point of view, but it probably won't be a big difference.
