David, We do applet to servlet communications using serialized objects and have no such performance problems. We have tested against IIS with the JRun servlet engine and it works well. I suggest you try a different servlet engine like the JSWDK which is a free download from Sun. Have you tested the serialization outside of the servlet / applet environment? Maybe it is doing something unexpected that you don't know about.
