gollark: Ah. Hmm. Make it pull from the queue a bit faster than the other end sends messages?
gollark: You would still get a massive backlog if you didn't read it at the same speed it was sent, but you could use the linked cards to send it directly/only to the one computer which needs it really fast.
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.
