Unless you are using dialup or GPRS, using normal rpms would be faster.
Unless you are using a very slow machine, using delta rpms is faster.
Hint: without numbers, this is not productive.
I tried it with (artificially) slow network on a 144GB 24 core dual-ssd server... deltarpm application even for large packages like kernel-source is blazingly fast ;-)
_Apparent_ delta RPM slowness annoyed me for years until a couple of months ago when I discovered the possibility to and how to disable them. I've virtually always used commit.downloadMode = DownloadAsNeeded, not doing so only in the period immediately after it became the default no longer. Applying deltas, subjectively, seemed in most cases to take longer than downloading a full RPM. None of my machines have more than one CPU or CPU core. Most are 2.4GHz or slower. Few have more than 1G RAM. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
