I did look it up. I didn't actually find anything. If you're going to suggest someone should look something up, make sure it'll actually turn up relevant results. Wikipedia certainly doesn't have anything on the issue that I could find. What I could find on random other sites basically said the difference between incremental and the way SE does it is to assist those will lesser connections.

If you're playing an MMO, you are assumed to have a fast connection with no data cap. I don't see the issue here.
