[Launcher] What is Delta Merge, and why does it take so long?

Member, Alpha Two
Genuinely curious about this. I'm used to game patches mostly taking time for the raw download, and then maybe a fraction of that time to unpack or whatever. But AoC always seems to spend most of it's patching time with "Delta Merges".
Is this something completely unique to AoC, or am I just clueless and every game does a similar process (but not shown directly in the launcher)?
