I think it's because you only see deltas from N to N+1 now and before you saw deltas from N to N+X before. So, I think if we made it somehow create older deltas, you would again see better savings. The issue doesn't just cause there to be fewer deltas, but it also causes those few be be against very recent changes, so less effective.
That should be fun to quantify. Heck, in principle it could be possible for a client to use a sequence of deltas to go from some random older version to the current one (sort of like shellsort).
