According to those benchmarks there appears to be no performance or size penalty to using protostuff over protobuffers. Am I reading that right? I don't really understand... doesn't the serialiser have to construct a .proto definition and then include it in the message? So shouldn't it be faster/smaller to predefine these? If we did, we could create them with velocity in the same way we create Java _superclasses today. Fairly trivial I'm guessing.
