Jeff,
I am curious about this statement because I think you may have hit on 
something here. Thinking about this the biggest resource saving would probably 
be made by not mirroring the debug packages but retaining them on the primary 
mirror. I had no idea that DWARF did not live up to it's name:).
Best,
