I think the files will likely be the same size as M9 files. For compatabilty 
with LR4 and SilverEFX the file structure will be the same, just as you need 
a 'colour space' file to get to jpeg. I say this also because apparently the 
write speeds haven't changed :-(.

As for general performance, Luminous Landscape has written a hands on review 
with some sample high ISO shots. Looks like even ISO 10,000 is very useable. 
It looks like there might easily be a 3-4 stop advantage in practice. It's 
not the same as film type noise, which shows grain more in highlights than 
shadows, but it looks very good.
