The install itself is typically the shortest aspect of getting Diablo III up and running, so you'll still be in good shape. If I remember correctly, we allowed StarCraft II installs about 30 minutes before the servers went live, so that may be possible here as well (no promises though).
Unfortunately, if we allowed an actual install at this point the client would be mercilessly datamined and a lot of cool surprises would be spoiled. Having the data on your computer is definitely a good head-start.
So, can we surmise a good fraction of info to be datamine before May 15, 2012? Just curious.
It's encrypted. The only problem is that they'll have to break the encryption code, which might be difficult if at all possible. But we can always hope
It seems to download a large file; but it doesn't seem like the game is actually installed. It's compressed and encrypted. Probably a lot more difficult to datamine this than the already installed game files.

lets say impossible if noone leaks the decryption key
probalby AES256 encrypted - takes more years to bruteforce it than you can image - assuming the key is long and complicated enough It will probalby also take around 30min to 1hour or longer to decrypt the ~8 GB of data when blizzard is releasing the key via the launcher on May 15.
Probably one person have the key or it is in safe in some bank. Let's blizznap him
