Slow

[willow385]

The bitrate for reading and writing is two bytes per second. At that rate, it would take almost ten minutes to read or write a single kilobyte of data. Possible fixes include increasing the bitrate (up to a point) or finding a way to compress more information into each byte.

It should be noted that this might simply be an unavoidable consequence of using cassette tapes as a medium for storing information. But that doesn't mean I won't think of interesting optimizations and compressions that would allow for increased data storage and faster loading times.
