PrecacheSound() will not cause the file to be downloaded to the client
(it just causes the client to try to precache it if it exists on disk).
We will investigate having it trigger a download also. In the mean time
you will need to use maps reslists to enforce the files existence on

The reason steam is slow is because it has to decrypt the gcf files which
have the models / textures / sounds for the game.
Look in the hl2 folder it is basically bare.
These gcf files are 200megs and over.
That takes a little to decrypt.

Really ? Thats why steam is slow? Thx for letting me know.
gcf files are file containers, mounted by steam as pseudo-file system.
