Updating is no more that big a drain on the bandwidth.
Here an excerpt:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
release 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Setting up Presto
extras 100% |=========================| 383 B 00:00
updates 100% |=========================| 383 B 00:00
Reading Presto metadata in from local files
presto.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 54 kB 00:02
Reading repository metadata in from local files
primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 1.6 MB 01:18
extras : ################################################## 5139/5139
<snip>
Size of all updates downloaded from Presto-enabled repositories: 156K
Size of updates that would have been downloaded if Presto wasn't enabled: 7.3M
This is a savings of 98 percent
Installed: tomcat4-servlet-2.3-api.noarch 0:4.1.31-7jpp
Updated: blobwars.i386 0:1.06-1.fc6 gaim-encryption.i386 0:3.0-0.2.beta8.fc6
Replaced: servletapi4.noarch 0:4.0.4-4jpp
Complete!

Is it possible to produce delta primary.xml files just as delta rpms?
The situation has changed now to xml files being bigger downloads than
the packages themselves.
