gollark: Also an approximate cross-server TPS measuring thing, although that's something like 5 lines of code and really does not need a library much (unless I add rolling averages and stuff).
gollark: I also have a ridiculously gigantic DEFLATE thing tweaked slightly from jackmacwindows's port of some WoW developer's thing.
gollark: Would adding the LZW library potatOS uses be useful? It's basically a minimal compression thing.
