Hi Nick, There are two big issues that the binary protocol seeks to solve, IMHO: consistently implementing features that were shoehorned into the text protocol (e.g. compare-and-swap), and giving a mechanism for future extensions to the protocol.
I don't recall there being any significant performance difference, but search the mailing list to double-check that.
