speedup is always 0.99

[Brian K. White]

To clarify a little more, trying to do deltas locally doesn't actually 
get you anything, because you still have to do all the same disk work on 
each end locally even if only deltas were sent over the network. If both 
ends are the same machine, generating and reintegrating deltas is just 
more cpu work and no less disk work.

You can prove it to yourself by forcing it to do deltas by using 
localhost::module/path/to/stuff as either the source or dest and see if 
it goes any faster.
