Which a-v vendor ?
We use Norton on our desktops and that only ever downloads deltas to the database.
We can't depend on rsync because in contrast to httpd it is not "a
standard".
Neither is Linux, is it ?

If you drop the "z" and "c" flags then it should be about the same on resource usage than HTTP. But the fact that it only transmits deltas will mean that even without the "z" flag (compress), its bandwidth usage will be lower than HTTP.
At the end of the day more CPU or more RAM is generally much cheaper than more bandwidth.
However, the fact that Apache uses the pre-fork technique, instead of forking for each connection (like rsync does), may make rsync unsuitable for extremely high number of connections.
