gollark: You would still have to spam and read messages very fast, but it wouldn't affect anything else.
gollark: There are linked cards, which are paired card things which can just directly send/receive messages to each other over any distance. If the problem here is that your data has to run across some central network/dispatcher/whatever, then you could use linked cards in the thing gathering data and the thing needing it urgently to send messages between them very fast without using that.
gollark: It would be kind of inelegant and expensive, but maybe for time- and safety-critical stuff like this you could just send the data directly between the computers which need it by linked card.
gollark: You can save cell cost by allocating item types to cells such that you fill up your cells to max "bytes" rather than max "types".
gollark: Or to defragment the system to save space.
