For most RPMs it isn't very. But for most of cooksync's history I've actually watched it run, with rsync progress and everything. You can tell when it's making a difference, and sometimes some packages barely change at all, especially subpackages from larger SRPMS. If I had more bandwidth I'd do a more typical sync run both with and without rpmsync and show the difference is more than 1%.
