Why are so big and slow to install Windows server 2016 updates?

Hi, we have some new servers with Win2k16 1607 and every month we suffer with the updating process (we are using WSUS), with Win2k8r2 and Win2k12R2 it is a very fast process, now with this new OS we have noticed the monthly updates are near to 1GB, is there a way to make it more efficient and fast?

You may need to set some options for express updates on your WSUS
