During some research a colleague of mine (thanks Richard) has done into serialisation lately, two code project articles came to my attention.
Top Ten Caching mistakes, and
Optimizing Serialisation in .NET
The first one talks about some common mistakes and why they are mistakes and also some mitigation techniques.
The second talks about the problems using XML, DataContractSerialisation (or any text based serialisation for that matter). Basically, they can be much slower than what you require. Also the binary serialisation and deserialisation process can create unnecessary data. The article shows a custom binary serialiser that looks very useful.
