The bandwith for buildds is a fixed price and already paid/sponsored.
Whats variable is the traffic.
What I ment was its muchs faster to upload way less data.
Also notice that for a large non-native package the diff can be <1%
percent of the binary.deb and the increase for the buildds will be
<10% for a successfull build.
Ok, thats tricked, bytewise the buildd will have more traffic but its
usually way faster conected.
