Nostr performance pro tip: put the `id` field first in an event.

This enables clients and relays to abort deserialisation if they've already seen the event.

After that the `created_at` and `kind`, as that can also eliminate unnecessary deserialisation early on.

Wouldn't the deserialization happen before the code could read the value? Or do some languages steam data into a deserialization method somehow?

If you want speed, you deserialise the stream coming from the socket.

Most languages probably do the whole thing first and then do sanity checks.
