Aside from wear and tear on the disc there are performance benefits for some games (not older ones because they were made before the install technology was made available) and the benefit of saving the optical reader for your disc drive.
Most newer games will increase performance because the 360 (as with most computing products) reads quicker off a hard drive than a disc and processing it that way (assuming it's not a slow RPM drive).

The most important benefit is that the DVD isn't spinning.
Since this is the source of extreme noise on the 360 (just compare it to the PS3 in this regard) this is a HUGE benefit IMHO. The slim version is better but it is still a major source of noise if you don't install the game.

I have to agree with everyone here the main benefit for installing your games onto pre-slim Xbox 360s is to reduce the noise it makes spinning drastically, also I have noticed slightly reduced loading times on some games e.g. Fallout New Vegas.
