This is a reupload of this:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=265798.0The links died many years ago, but I found the files again. I tried them out and it turns out they work... for the most part.
Anyway, if you want to know why you should try this add-on out, here's why:
In fact, I found an old log that said I could get up to 14x speeds here:
http://pastebin.com/e21mbtVFAnyway, your save files will be as small as half the size they were before, and upload up to 10x faster to an online server.
The only downside right now is that if you load bricks and the owner of the bricks is not online the events won't load. You'll need to wait until they are online to load their bricks if you want events, or you can just save without ownership.

The support add-on that lets other add-ons make binary files.The actual add-on advertised, which requires the above add-on.(updated at 11:17 PM 3/27/2016)
New beta version:
http://blockland.org/newversion/system_binarysave.ziphttp://blockland.org/newversion/support_binary.zip(You need to replace both add-ons, and if you saved files using the previous version, you can't load them with this version)
This version should be able to load events even when the owner of the bricks are offline.
