TIP: Disabling deltarpms
By default, updates are downloaded as deltarpms. Since rebuilding rpm packages
from deltarpms is a memory and processor consuming task, certain setups or
hardware congurations might require you to disable the usage of deltarpms for
the sake of performance.
To disable the use of deltarpms, edit the le /etc/zypp/zypp.conf and set
download.use_deltarpm to false.
