On the client: The zchunk advantage over regular rpm is decreased network usage, while its disadvantage is increased disk usage (since the local chunks will be uncompressed). The zchunk advantage over deltarpms is much less CPU usage, while its disadvantages are slightly larger network usage and increased disk usage. Note that for most users the increased disk usage is temporary, since rpms are deleted after install.
If they're deleted after install then surely next time there is an update there won't be any local chunks and everything will have to be downloaded? That's what has been confusing me about this whole thing - as I understand it the idea is to only download new chunks and to reuse chunks that are unchanged from earlier revisions, but it seems that doing that would require keeping a local copy of every installed rpm which would be a big change that nobody seems to have mentioned.
