I ran rsync --stats on two identical files of size 100MB with a 64KB
block size and extrapolated to 20GB. The files themselves are
incompressible.

I'm not worrying about append changes personally. Just
transmutations. i.e. byte number 2^26 which had value F2 now has
value 3A.
I think of appending as insertions which happen to be at the end of
the file.
