This page shows the results of the serializer-benchmark that compares java, javolution based and kryo based serialization/deserialization times for a sample object graph (some persons, addresses, calendar objects etc.).

The benchmark was performed on my T61 (Core Duo T7300, 2x2GHz) running Fedora Core 12 with Sun JDK 1.6.0_18-b07:

java -Xms512M -Xmx512M -classpath [..] de.javakaffee.web.msm.serializer.Benchmark

The plain numbers are published here: spreadsheets.google.com (all number are millis, also in the charts below)

A short explanation of the labels:

• Ser - serialization time
• Deser - deserialization time (you guessed it :-))
• Min, Avg, Max - minimum, average and maximum time in millis required for 500 serializations/deserializations (10 cycles)

Benchmark small (10 person samples, 7 component samples)

Benchmark medium (100 person samples, 31 component samples)

Benchmark big (500 person samples, 261 component samples)

Serialized data size

The following chart shows the size of the serialized data for the different serialization strategies for 10, 100, 500 samples (here's the spreadsheet with numbers):
