actually binary websockets won't do in this case since the underlying protocol is still TCP with automatic retransmission mechanism which kills performance for very fast-paced games. You have to use WebRTC in that case

So there's no reason to use binary commands when using something like socket.io?
not much but shaving off some bytes is good in itself
