I got similar results, using the vdelta-test program, when the vdelta
window size was smaller than the file size.

I remember comparing gzip with compress-only vdeltas; I got similar
results (say, +-10%) when the vdelta windows were large enough to
accomodate whole files, even though I believe gzip does a much better
job of eliminating redundancies than vdelta is designed to do.
