I’m getting about 800:1 compression with Brotli. I wonder if need to tune anything? Although tbh I have no performance issues at all.

It took me a minute to change my mindset to Datastar’s way of doing things. But it’s been amazing. Firstly to keep 99% of the state and logic on the back end is just so nice - no more having to deal with two sources of state at the same time (front end and back end). Secondly the ability to regenerate the entire view from scratch anytime something changes and then have Datastar efficiently morph just the changes is just such a simple mental model. Every fiber in me was like “no way that can work, the cpu, bandwidth, latency etc” - but it is buttery smooth.

So compression ratios with streaming compression (brotli/zstd) come down to the regularity of the data, the size of the change, and the size of your window.

Basically, if your html fat morph frames are 65kb uncompressed and you make a small change like checkbox it will send 13bytes so that's 5000:1. Caveat is as long as your compression context window is big enough.
