Hello, hello! I have an aplication with many, many objects in memory that I have to save/load to have persistence. I implemented an abstract framework that enables me to make several persistence implementations. At this point, I have implemented persistence in XML (I write, I read to DOM and parse -- can't use XmlSerializer cause I have some Hastables... :( ), and implemented with the help of the BinaryFormatter.
Before saving, I transform all my OO model in some simple classes that contain only the necessary info to save/load. That's why I can apply a BinaryFormatter easily. I first tryed it in Microsoft .NET and found out that saving is much more slower than loading... I wonder why! On the other hand, the same test ou Mono/Linux got me that saving was faster than loading... Now, I would like to understand the results, so I ask these questions: 1) Is writing to a file very much slower than reading from a file in Windows? Does the oposite happens in Linux? 2) Any information on can add on this results? Are they "expected" results? Thanks.
