[zeromq-dev] what are the best practices to send complex objects?

[Cem Karan]

I've been playing with MessagePack (http://msgpack.org/) for serialization and BLOSC (http://blosc.pytables.org/trac) for compression.  They seem to work pretty well together.  How fast is fast?  BLOSC is designed to move data around in memory faster than memcpy() is able to do it, and I haven't had any complaints about how fast MessagePack works (OTOH, I'm I/O bound, so I tend not to hit any limits).

Thanks,
Cem Karan
