I benchmarked this again, on a 400 Mbit/s connection, with all of February updates on cdn-aws.deb.debian.org. Both pdiff and no pdiff performed in 17s. While the no pdiff download was basically instantenious, most of the time was spent verifying and compressing the Contents file to lz4 afterwards. w/ pdiff: Fetched 41,2 MB in 17s (2.369 kB/s) w/o pdiff: Fetched 119 MB in 17s (6.832 kB/s) Given that a 400 Mbit/s connection with 10ms latency and a Core i5-8250u is way beyond anything most users have, the results should only get better for them. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
