If I'm not mistaken it's not actually taking that long to download. What's taking time is the installation. I think the patches are trolling through each individual game file package and injecting them with the update. Apparently it takes a while for some reason, even on the small ones. IDK, guessing.

They're delta patches, only the bytes adjusted are patched and not complete files. Even though it is < 1MB but it needs to adjust 37 files, which can take some time if you don't have an SSD.
