Use msgpack instead of plain JSON for shipping arrays around #67

msgpack has solid support for in both python and javascript. It's also way denser and should help with the bandwidth problem.

Turns out msgpack performance is awful in JS. Maybe we can just gzip everything?

I take that back, it's probably comparable in performance, however given that we trim the json down to 4 digits and gzip is happening transparently over the wire, it comes off worse on file size alone. I think we can't do much better than we already are w.r.t. bandwidth
