[protobuf] Re: Java: how to use protobuf to send messages quickly over sockets?

I'm a bit embarrassed :) The protobuf version of my code uses about 950MB of memory (the Java Serializable version is only using around 650MB) and I had the java - Xmx flag set too low; in reality protobuf is extremely fast compared to Java Serializable: Java Serializable: 12,000 msgs/sec

Thanks for the info. I thought the Java serialization metadata would have been large compared to the relevant data, but I guess not! On Oct 29, 5:42 pm, Kenton Varda ken...@google.com wrote: It sounds plausible.  There's no fundamental reason why protocol buffers should be faster than Java
