Serialization, Choosing between XML and Binary formatters.

Ran a test on the performance of serializing data sets using the XML and Binary formats. Serializing a JobQuake data set with 6000+ jobs, 1600 companies, 45 agencies takes about 6 seconds. Deserializing takes about 15-20 seconds. Binary took longer to serialize. Didn’t time binary deserializer. Xml file size was 7.5MB. Binary was 6.3MB.
