Re: [Rd] serialize() to via temporary file is heaps faster than doing it directly (on Windows)

Hi, FYI, I just notice that on Windows (but not Linux) it is orders of magnitude (below it's 50x) faster to serialize() and object to a temporary file and then read it back, than to serialize to an object directly. This has for instance impact on how fast digest::digest() can provide a checksum.
