Delta with no bool-header-folding:
2: turn=171; transmitted 91463 bytes in 4167 packets;average size per packet 21 
bytes
2: turn=172; transmitted 3657 bytes in 117 packets;average size per packet 31 
bytes
2: turn=173; transmitted 2241 bytes in 90 packets;average size per packet 24 
bytes
2: turn=174; transmitted 1801 bytes in 80 packets;average size per packet 22 
bytes

Delta with new fixed bool-header-folding:
2: turn=171; transmitted 91214 bytes in 4167 packets;average size per packet 21 
bytes
2: turn=172; transmitted 3655 bytes in 117 packets;average size per packet 31 
bytes
2: turn=173; transmitted 2237 bytes in 90 packets;average size per packet 24 
bytes
2: turn=174; transmitted 1797 bytes in 80 packets;average size per packet 22 
bytes

Not much to gain during the game because the bool fields doesn't
change. Some (200bytes) can be gained during the startup (all bool
which are set to TRUE).
