It's a trade off. It saves you bandwith at the cost of local disk space and cpu time. If you have a very fast connection it's usually much faster to just download the full updates. if you have a very slow cpu or low on disk space, assembling the deltas can make things a great deal slower. If you have a slow or metered connection, and lots of cpu/disk, then deltas are indeed a big win. kevin
