At least by a factor of 4 and by a factor of 10 in some conditions. MPEG-2 is very processor efficient but in exchange for very low bandwidth efficiency. Today we watch full movies in 720p and decent quality <1GB size, and in MPEG-2 in late 1990s, 2 video CDs (also ~1GB) were needed for a crappy grainy VHS-style movie. Nobody was much pissed because alternative was VHS itself.
