If you have a big enough HDD, then yes. It makes your 360 run quieter, makes games load slightly faster, and usually keep your Xbox much cooler than when running a game off the disc. After playing Fallout 3 for 11 hours straight while my 360 stays almost ice cold I would recommend it.
It's not a waste of time if you play a game frequently; in fact, it's quite the opposite. I play Team Fortress all the time, and installing the game saves about 20 seconds of load time. If I add up all the time I save sitting around for the game to load, eventually that's greater than the time it took to install the game, particularly since I can be doing something else while the game's installing. I can't really go do something else while I'm waiting for The Orange Box to load. What, am I going to go get a bite to eat for one minute?

I do play frequently, and Ive installed games before and it made next to no difference on the load times of what I played. I usually play everyday for several hours since I have a shortened school day and no job, yet I havent played much lately due to the flu... It sucks.

I measure loadtimes before and after I install a game to see if it makes a difference. It's a very big deal with Oblivion, where you're constantly loading areas.
