Not really. deltarpms are for people with slow connections, they still need considerable time and memory resources for installation. To cite /etc/zypp/zypp.conf: ## Using a delta rpm will decrease the download size for package updates ## since it does not contain all files of the package but only the binary ## diff of changed ones. Recreating the rpm package on the local machine ## is an expensive operation (memory,CPU). If your network connection is ## not too slow, you benefit from disabling .delta.rpm. In enterprise, people are not concerned about download sizes, but about time-to-install. Smaller packages are faster to install.
