To answer your original questions about deltarpms, yes I am still
updating the presto test repositories.  To give you an idea of the
savings, the deltarpm from openoffice.org-core-2.4.0 to 2.4.1 is 7MB.
You just need to follow the directions on the presto site to set it up
correctly.  And ignore the reported download size when yum asks for
confirmation: that number doesn't count deltarpms.
