Skipping this (just create uncompressed rpms when > building from deltas) should improve performance a lot. The entire delta framework is built around generating the original RPM and handing that off wholesale to yum/rpm - it's how it can be done as a yum plugin without changing anything in RPM itself. Changing it to create something *different* than the full RPM (in terms of checksum, size, signature, and so on) would be a non-trivial change to how they work. I think if you want to go down this road, you probably want to start by integrating delta technology into RPM core itself, probably redefining the delta format into something much more efficient.
