The "Faster Java Serialization" project aims to
provide faster Java serialization by inspecting
classes and generating tailor made serialization
code on the fly. This serialization code is reused
for every object of the same class. Objects are
serialized to a NIO ByteBuffer, eliminating the
need for numerous memory copies that take place
during normal serialization to files or network.
Currently, there are some limitations on the kinds
of objects that can be serialized.
