The window size has absolutely no effect on the runtime pack access, except maybe for the increased number of deltas. It is really a pack time cost. The delta depth is the opposite: it has no effect on the packing time, but it has the potential to slow down runtime access. But the delta base cache is apparently working really well to mitigate that cost, as long as it is big enough of course.
