What CAN probably easily be done would be to eliminate the HiDPI (128x128) icons from the tarball.. of course, at the cost of users having a HiDPI screen. This would cut the size of appdata -icons.tar.gz down to 2.6MB from 7.5MB (I tried changing it to .xz or .bz2; it's not worth the efforts)
So, the question basically boils down to: do we want to have proper support for HiDPI in our setup or do we not care for those users.

As a HiDPI user I say yes we do (and lets face it, there will be more and more HiDPI users soon).
A possible solution could be to make the appdata-icons.tar.gz into a "delta" - How hard / how much work that would be I have no clue, so sorry for making a "someone else has to do x" suggestion.
Good point. Our software stack already supports delta downloads for repo metadata, we should also enable this for the appdata icons. I'll tweak the scripts on the download redirector.
