I fully agree with Dave. In the Flash world, XML has always been ill-reputed as being 'bloated' and 'slow'. This probably originates from Flash Player 5 times where XML parsing was slow and 56k modems were still the norm. Today, if i would have to choose, i would always go for standard and user readable formats, as they are way easier to debug and maintain, and don't lock me in to hard to debug, proprietary binary formats. The small speed advantage you get just doesn't outweigh the disadvantages, imho.
