Possible optimization: instead of sending full JPEG frames, send information about what’s changed since the last frame, like an MPEG stream

It is an amazing testament to technology that we can do smooth-ish live video transmission with full acid compliance at very low costs. I am not that old but old enough to remember when YouTube used to constant buffer.
