It would go up much more than several hundreds of Kb, but that's not
the point.
I think we're having communication diffuculty here. I'm not saying
that doing everything from source is for everyone. It's obviously not
something you would like. What I am saying is that for *some* people
it might be an *option* they'd like to have. And for those people,
transmitting the source diffs could be a big win in bandwidth. The
assumption here is that those people have the CPU horsepower and disk
space needed and don't mind using it for this.
