In the past, I've found deltarpm to actually be slower when bandwidth is
plentiful. The package itself is small, so I'll do some tests here.
When I did some testing around this on F17 I found that deltarpm not
only increased update time by a non-trivial amount, but also generated
extra I/O. It would be interesting to see how it behaves nowadays.

Yes, as mentioned, this is a frequent complaint. In the past the majority
opinion was that a basic packet filter was the best choice, but given the
constant feedback I get to the contrary, I'm.... inclined to revisit.
Especially as we make the cloud image a) more visibile and b) more
differentiated, I think this makes a lot of sense.
Indeed. This sounds like a differentiator for the "server" and
"cloud"
products you proposed. 8^)
