So for the data during the game there is a reduction of a factor
4.7-12.

Share of the chat messages at the total traffic:

2:       24     1675       69 PACKET_CHAT_MSG(13)

Also the GAME_INFO packets are a problem:
2:        1      640      640 PACKET_GAME_INFO(111)
2:        3      827      275 PACKET_GAME_INFO(111)
2:        3      427      142 PACKET_GAME_INFO(111)
2:        2      220      110 PACKET_GAME_INFO(111)
2:        1       13       13 PACKET_GAME_INFO(111)
2:        2      220      110 PACKET_GAME_INFO(111)
2:        2      620      310 PACKET_GAME_INFO(111)
2:        1       13       13 PACKET_GAME_INFO(111)
2:        2      220      110 PACKET_GAME_INFO(111)

if global_advances changes the full 200 bytes are transfered.

  (On the statement print "42 monkeys"+"1 snake"): BTW, both perl and Python
  get this wrong. Perl gives 43 and Python gives "42 monkeys1 snake", when 
  the answer is clearly "41 monkeys and 1 fat snake".
