I like to clarify this a bit more. In case of CS making such a faster loader
really is a HUGE amount of work. We have LOTS of different data to save. By
using XML we can generalize the loader/saver a lot and this makes our 
project a lot
more maintainable. Making specific optimized binary loaders and savers 
for all
our different plugins is a huge undertaking and it also means a lot more 
code
to maintain.

Greetings,
