where's the crow? so i built a benchmarking program to test the different between xdr and xml on the wire. it's clear to me now that xdr beats xml in every way. xdr is about 20% smaller in size and about 2x faster. the biggest slowdown with xml (expat) is that i had to create/free a parser for every message.. i don't see a way to simply "reset" the parser to parse a new buffer.
open window. throw out xml on the wire idea. i have another idea though... -matt
