It may depend on your interpretation of "efficiency", but I would not say that. Darcs binaries patches loose most of the beauty that happens with textual patches: this is because darcs doesn't use deltas to store revisions of that kind of files, but rather those patches contain both the old and the new content of the file, hexified and finally gzipped, so that's hardly efficient if weighted in bytes, and surely does not help in its handling, too.

So, except for rarely changed binaries, I would not recommend using darcs for them.

hth, ciao, lele.
