Definitely a highly desirable feature that saves precious time, and bandwidth. Particularly useful over higher latency (lower bandwidth) links.
In general CPU's are getting a low faster so there is a lot more available CPU then there is network throughput. CentOS 6 and Fedora 16 both support delta-rpms not by default and it really makes a huge difference in update performance. Additionally in must dramatically lower the strain on upstream provides - theoretically lowering the bar for becoming a mirror.
