Network updates in both direction deteriorate over time #166

When you connect many clients to a remote server the game becomes unplayable within minutes due to networking issues.

Issues I've noticed with

commit 0b8acf7
1 human client
10 headless bot clients
the server running on ungroup.dev server

Within a couple of minutes:

the number of updates received from the server drops by more than 50%
the latency between inputting something and it reflecting on the server becomes so long (>1s) that the game becomes unplayable.
