Interesting. What performance enhancements did you find?

I added a new page at http://wiki.caucho.com/Hessian_2.0 to describe
some of the draft ideas.

We just started brainstorming for Hessian 2.0. I'm guessing it will
be at least 6 months before we make it final. No sense rushing in it.

The goal is not to add any new types, merely compact representations.

c/c++ primitives should already be supported, just in a somewhat
wasteful manner, since you can encode a byte using I x x x x.
