Good in theory, not so stellar in practice. Delta rpms use less bandwidth (good for those on slow connections) but require more processor horsepower (Yast online updater is the metric I'm using for reference). On my old system which has an AMD K6-2 450 MHz it takes much longer to update using openSUSE 10.2's Yast. I hope FC7's implementation is better.
You would have to test and report back rather than hope. Yum-presto 0.3.4 uses parallel threads for building the full update from the delta's.
