adriancole commented on issue #2579: Benchmark bytes / bytebuffer, protobuf vs zipkin vs wire. URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-zipkin/pull/2579#issuecomment-491314676 PS @anuraaga I think the context you mention which is there are optimizations on the server that would be different than android-focused libraries is certainly spot-on. We shouldn't prevent ourselves from taking advantage of these optimizations considering this is server code. I do remember some discussions last time about the guava sensitivity and heft of google libraries (ex. protobuf-java is 2MiB). I'm not super keen to re-enter that at the moment, but there could be some sense in using an unsafe mechanism such as they are. At any rate, I learned thought this work that there's actually a measurable amount of gc time to recover. Eventhough I mentioned a little less priority, that's my personal 2p, if you are interested in taking the "attack the overhead" issue forward, please continue.
