Since the changes/uploads of the files are just diff's of the existing files rather than full copies for each version, I can't imagine that the versioning would add too much to the author's rough estimations.

But that doesn't change the number of requests. Perhaps it lowers the total bandwidth consumed, but what about the number of requests?
