[Simple-support] Speed Comparison / Benefits versus standard serialization

[Tom W. <tho...@du...>]

Hi Chaps,
I was wondering how XML serialization compares speedwise against the 
standard serialization mechanism. As far as I understand serialization 
isn't a fast process (relatively speaking to something like binary 
socket communication), but slower transmission speeds would obviously 
affect overall application performance.

If anyone has any comparisons, links to relevant articles etc, I'd be 
very appreciative.

Many thanks,
Tom
