[Simple-support] any performance tricks?

[Jim S. <ji...@fu...>]

Hi,

I'm evaluating Simple along with some other tools that will serialize 
data for purposes of data transfer across a network. I much prefer the 
annotations-based way that Simple lets me prepare data for serialization 
to the other tool I'm evaluating (Google protobuf), but the performance 
is becoming a determining factor. For example, a sample data structure 
which takes 1.53ms to encode with Simple only takes 0.048ms to encode 
with protobuf.

I'm just doing a very simple standard annotation markup with @Attribute 
and @Element (the outer structure has a dozen fields and a list of two 
inner structures, each having about a half-dozen fields). Then I just 
use persister.write to serialize.

I'm guessing maybe the reflection is taking a lot of time?  Not sure. 
But are there any known performance tips/tricks to know about with Simple?

Thanks,

Jim
