Do any of you guys have experience with Java serialization and what kind of overheads it causes? As far as I know, it produces very large messages and is not particularly fast, so I am concerned about that given that it is pervasively used in our system core for sending messages between daemons over our messaging API. One possible alternative is http://xstream.codehaus.org/ which can be tuned to produce fairly small messages (by aliasing class names and types for example). However, I have no sense of the speed. I will do some performance tests. Comments, questions, etc? -- [ Rodrick R.
