I think so.
this is how i see it:
on the very beginning you have such line in datafile:
{key: [col_name, col_value, date_of_last_change]} //something similar,
i don't remember now
after delete you're adding line:
{key:[col_name, last_col_value, date_of_delete, 'd']} //this d
indicates that field is deleted
after insert the following line is added:
{key: [col_name, col_value, date_of_insert]}
so delete and then insert generates 2 lines in datafile.
after pure insert (upsert in fact) you will have only one line
{key: [col_name, col_value, date_of_insert]}
So, summarizing, in second scenario you have only one line, in first: two.
I hope my post is correct ;)
