Good call. I've done some more experiments, this time with 93 revisions
of my test file in a test repository using xdelta3
<http://www.xdelta.org/> and xdelta
<http://evanjones.ca/software/xdelta-win32.html>. There's no -0 test
for xdelta, because it seems the Windows port ignores the compression
flag and always uses the default. I also didn't want to test this on my
FreeBSD machine (which has a working implementation of xdelta), because
it's slow and all the way across the Internet.
Here's my results:

That's a little difficult to swallow.
Maybe when I get some time I'll do another test with some long Wikipedia
page and an svn nightly.
