Bigger than is required by most programs, I suspect.

Could you also serialize/deserialize the WDDX in half an hour? That might make 
a mildly entertaining Youtube video.

You are crazy.

ColdFusion is better thought of as an application server - a glorified compiler 
- not an application in its own right. If it encounters an error, its job is to 
fail and report the error.

It's your job, as an application programmer, to make your applications fail 
gracefully, not the compiler's job.

Your assumption is correct.
