I wonder if the file size changed when Joel regenerated the daily.cvd file (or
I had in unexplainable file size error). I still use all the technology but no
longer for big dot coms. The patched files are larger because they have a lot of
unneeded bits in them.

The daily.cvd is still less than half as big as main.cvd:

but indeed using the cdiffs could save bandwidth.
I never tried using cdiffs since the FAQ said "Let freshclam download
the *.cvd files", and I wasn't sure if "scripted update" would actually
create a proper cvd for both local mirroring *and* HAVP. Also, I
figured that we were already saving lots of bandwidth by doing local
mirroring instead of N separate freshclam external downloads.
P.S. After retirement there is less pressure, but the technology I deal
with daily (for my own purposes, rather than for pay) doesn't seem to
get any simpler.
