BTW "bsdiff" deltas should be quite more efficient than xdelta ones, but they have an higher memory requierment and a "somewhat funny" license. http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/ > [...] > bsdiff routinely produces binary patches 50-80% smaller than those produced > by Xdelta, and 15% smaller than those produced by .RTPatch (a $2750/seat > commercial patch tool) > [...] > bsdiff is quite memory-hungry.
