It's not going to make Avro 100x faster I'm sure :-) I'm just saying that it
would be interesting to learn what the gain is when it is implemented.
FYI, there is a little discussion on Avro & alternatives on the SeaJUG list:

> Components: java

> Java reflection is very slow, about 100 times slower for field access than
> normal Java code. However reflection might be a useful tool for converting
> existing codebases to use Avro.
> One could, using ASM (http://asm.ow2.org/) make existing compiled classes to
> implement the SpecificRecord interface or something similar:
> http://hadoop.apache.org/avro/docs/current/api/java/org/apache/avro/specific/SpecificRecord.html
> This would make existing classes as fast to serialize as generated classes.
