Great.

I was curious whether shrinking SavedVars files could speed-up their loading. Currently they're indented with spaces. Typical saved vars from add-ons I have are literally full of spaces. I tried replacing them with tabs (4 spaces -> 1 tab) in files larger than 10k. The results were 23% to 57% smaller (not counting the above-mentioned combat log add-on, which was only 10% because it stores long strings).
