Here I disagree. You get a huge amount of data at reconnect and a big
amount at turn done but small in normal playing. So if after a
reconnect the excessive data is saved in same buffers at the server
and the server tried to send the data in regular intervals (after each
request from another player) there are high chances that the slow
client got all data till the next new-turn. If however the new-turns
are in a 5s intervall it wouldn't probably have a chance.
