I'm not sure I understand what this was supposed to show? You reused all the old deltas, and you did "du -sk" on two different things before/after (and didn't do a "-a -d" to repack the old pack either). So does the result actually have anything to do with any compression algorithm? Use "-a -d -f" to repack a whole archive.
