Hi, I did some similar performance tests based on that: http://thrift-protobuf-compare.googlecode.com/svn
My tests runs under Java and uses Protocol Buffers 2.2.0. Basically I am comparing Java Serialization vs. Protocol buffers with byte size, serialization and deserialization and my results are similar to the performance results as stated here: http://www.eishay.com/2009/03/more-on-benchmarking-java-serialization.html For serialization I use ByteArrayOutputStream (data stream in ObjectOutputStream) and for deserialization its counterpart: ByteArrayInputStream (data stream in ObjectInputStream). But doing the performance test under RMI the performance results are totally different. Here Protocol Buffers is slower(!) than Java Serialization. The only difference I can see is that it uses for serialization a BufferedOutputStream (in ConnectionOutputStream) and a DataInputStream (in ConnectionInputStream). Does anybody know why that is so?
