이것에 관심이있어서 나는 내가 할 수있는 가장 가까운 “사과 대 사과”테스트로 제안 된 방법을 테스트하기로 결정했습니다. 다음 코드로 콘솔 앱을 작성했습니다.

결과는 저를 놀라게했습니다. 여러 번 실행할 때 일관성이있었습니다.

Generating 100000 arrays of data...
Test data generated.
Testing BinarySerializer...
BinaryFormatter: Serializing took 336.8392ms.
BinaryFormatter: Deserializing took 208.7527ms.

Testing ProtoBuf serializer...
ProtoBuf: Serializing took 2284.3827ms.
ProtoBuf: Deserializing took 2201.8072ms.

Testing NetSerializer serializer...
NetSerializer: Serializing took 2139.5424ms.
NetSerializer: Deserializing took 2113.7296ms.
Press any key to end.

이러한 결과를 수집하여 ProtoBuf 또는 NetSerializer가 더 큰 개체에서 더 나은 성능을 발휘하는지 확인하기로 결정했습니다. 컬렉션 수를 10,000 개 개체로 변경했지만 배열 크기를 1-100 개가 아닌 1-10,000 개로 늘 렸습니다. 결과는 훨씬 더 명확 해 보였습니다.

Generating 10000 arrays of data...
Test data generated.
Testing BinarySerializer...
BinaryFormatter: Serializing took 285.8356ms.
BinaryFormatter: Deserializing took 206.0906ms.

Testing ProtoBuf serializer...
ProtoBuf: Serializing took 10693.3848ms.
ProtoBuf: Deserializing took 5988.5993ms.

Testing NetSerializer serializer...
NetSerializer: Serializing took 9017.5785ms.
NetSerializer: Deserializing took 5978.7203ms.
Press any key to end.

따라서 내 결론은 다음과 같습니다. ProtoBuf 및 NetSerializer가 적합한 경우가있을 수 있지만 상대적으로 간단한 개체에 대한 원시 성능 측면에서 … BinaryFormatter는 적어도 10 배 이상 성능이 훨씬 뛰어납니다.

YMMV.
