…y instead of a classical untyped Array Since a Uint8Array uses only 1 byte per element and every number is likely a 64-bit floating point number, Uint8Array should be a much more compact way to store the data. This change was tested by running encoding the same frames of a long gif animation that previously crashed the browser every time on the same laptop, same browser, same version of Windows...

Optimized memory usage by using Uint8Array instead of a classical untyped Array
Since a Uint8Array uses only 1 byte per element and every number is likely a 64-bit floating point number, Uint8Array should be a much more compact way to store the data. This change was tested by running encoding the same frames of a long gif animation that previously crashed the browser every time on the same laptop, same browser, same version of Windows...
