Thanks for the reply. Actually not the case. The problem is directly related to a large memory allocation bug mentioned on these lists a few times now. I finally had it confirmed. The serialization/deserialization is mainly a problem for data that contains many small pieces i.e. large recordsets as opposed to relatively few pieces that are large(our case).
