Hmm, I think I see your point. So, for example, if most numbers were something like 0.1, 0.25, 3.25 and the like, they would take 4 bytes in most cases, whereas storing doubles would always take 8 bytes. We don't want to take float32 because of the inherently bad precision of working with them, so storing as text is better. Thanks for the explanation.
