If 13% improvement gets you within a frame budget then yay. Otherwise oof, lots of effort for not a huge gain.

Somehow I don't think I'd be doing zlib compression on a per-frame basis, but I do have a ~15 second file save to shave time off of

Ouch! Able to serialise the data structure in RAM and then hive off a thread to deal with the save in the background in any useful manner?

It's for web, so while yes it could be instantiated on a worker thread, it would also add significant complexity to the compilation setup for each of our projects using the library (the dart dev compiler has trouble with workers, I have a way around it but it needs manual setup)

Oh ouch. I have no idea of the complexities there. Out of interes,t how did you prepare the WASM build? What language did you write it in? I am interested in WASM but have no idea how I'd go about learning.
