I have not measured and I have not studied how the current mkdelta does things, but if you are not doing so already it may make sense to keep the later one expanded in full and represent older ones as delta, since that would give faster access to more often used items (I am assuming more recent version are likely to be accessed more frequently, which I believe is what SCMs typically do. RCS format is geared towards this AFAICR).
