Well it appears that we can both have it our way. I simple added 
"deltarpm=1" to "/etc/dnf/dnf.conf."

[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=true
deltarpm=1

That reduced a 171 MB update to 43 MB. It appears I might save a GB or 
more in the course of a month. That is much more important to me than 
the time dnf update spends rebuilding rpm's.
