running 'euse -i kdexdeltas' tells me:

"kdexdeltas - Makes kde ebuilds download binary diffs rather than entire 
new tarballs for every new release"

Cheers,

No, it wouldn't. The opposite is true.

No.

No, that's wrong again. You're still compiling everything.

This only saves you space in your distfiles directory. Instead of
having full tarballs for each release of KDE, you get the major
release and then all the minor fixes in "xdelta" packages.
