This SDK said the binary world.tick wire is roughly a fifth of the bytes. Measured on a 40-entity steady-state delta with real UUIDv7 ids it is 3795 to 1039, so 3.7x - about a quarter of the bytes.

The old figure came from a benchmark frame carrying x,y per record where a real one carries x,y,vx,vy, and the wire has since gained a gen byte per record.

Comments and docs only; no behaviour change, tests unchanged and green. The decode figures were never overstated and are what justify the codec anyway. Full table in widgrensit/asobi#508.
