Off at a slight tangent, but it struck me the other day that rsync is probably less efficient at mirroring rawhide *because* the RPMs are compressed, therefore a small change to a package's source will change the binary contents drastically enough to defeat the delta compression, I suppose with xorg being split up that helps, but ooo/tetex/eclipse etc are still significant chunks. I hardly suppose having an uncompressed form of RPM file would be welcome though ...
