Howdy,

I've been doing smoe work on clrghouz the last week or two, and I started rolling out those updates over the last week.

I've basically optimised the message store, changing compression from zstd to brotli, as well as changing how its stored in the DB - which looks like has bought me a 60-70% reduction in message stoage - yay :)

I also reworked how packets are parsed, that I think gives me a performance boost now, but primarily enables me to skip past bad messages in a packet and hopefully just throw away that one bad one.

Unfortunately, I broke a few things along the way, and I'm now chasing the final bugs hopefully. Every now and again I see an exception in the logs that I fix, and those exceptions are not happening as often now.

The DB will be going through a conversion over the next few hours (got 1m messages in there!) to take advantage of that space, before I upgrade it to a later version (when thats done).

If you see something odd, please let me know.
