GFWL uses a separate program, it's just installed as a service in Windows so you don't realise it. Steam has never caused me a delay and I've been using it since before HL2 preloaded.
Yes, I know it installed as service, it used to run as service alone without a actual client application. I am speaking of the actual program with the user interface. I know now GFWL run its own program as well, as I said it started the program as needed without delay and auto shut it off as it is no longer needed which Steam doesn't have, it did caused a few seconds delay you are most likely didn't notice it, I ran the game Dead Space 2 with a Steam and another with a non-Steam version. Non-Steam version clearly start up faster without Steam.
