Woud that not cause problems? If say the original rpm is 50 MB, the
drpm say 0.1MB because only a few small files were changed, having a
minimum size may force the download of the full rpm.

If you had efficiency threashold at >50% and size of ORIGINAL rpm
larger than a certain size (say 1 meg? 10 megs? that would be up to
whoever is doing the work and not me, a lurker), it could work.
