yes it is incremental..
the program updater downloads only the file(s) iv_OS.exe and ii_OS.exe (for both Vet and Ino engines, less than 1 MB in size).
or you can download the full updater (more than 3 MB in size).

Minacross, trust mantra, trust avast!, trust me.
But if you are a "fanatic" tester, thanks, and give us the results...
Comparison tests could be found by Google search...
I do not recommend any of them.
I recommend avast!  ;D

Comparison tests:

Independent (as much as anyone could be independent):
http://www.av-test.org/sites/news.php3?lang=en
http://www.adfreesurfing.com/antivirus.htm
http://www.wilders.org/anti_viruses.htm

Manufactors sites, of course, are not independent...  >:(
Again, I trust avast!  ;D

Cheers, Lito.
