Binary Serialization

Question

Hi,

I'm using binary serialization (custom serialization) to send my objects over the wire (UDP). The object size can be 4MB or larger and it seems to be taking around 1500ms to serialize and deserialize this payload.

Is 4MB or greater to large a size to send or can I tweak the performance of the binary serializer somehow? 

Thanks

Answer 1

4MB+ is pretty big.  Considering you can get this serialized, transferred up via UDP, and deserialized in 1.5 seconds I think your doing ok.

Answer 2

I seriously doubt this bottleneck comes from BinaryFormatter.  Serialize to a MemoryStream to proof the point.

Hi,

 

In addition to nobugz’s point, you can use CLR Profiler to check the where is the bottleneck.
