Since you're doing this is rust, try experimenting to see what would happen if you did zstd compression using a dictionary on the data you're sending back and forth, it might give you a performance benefit.

I will definitely try it!

I'm using Gzip since it comes with all browsers hence a easy approach

That said, I will find som zstd decompressor for js/wasm and try!

edit:

I just added and the difference was huge! Thank you!
