It is not always about speed. There are still plenty of places in the world where people are on limited data plans and to them using delta rpms makes a lot of sense. They can work with slow speeds but not with high data expenses. So i feel turning it on by default and having a setting to turn it off is still a sane choice. Just my 2 cents.

In my experience, while the download times may
be (slightly) reduced, on a number of my (slower)
systems, the rebuild of the rpm itself took longer
then it would have taken to download the full rpm.

As with all else, your mileage WILL vary._______________________________________________
