[PJUG Javamail] [PJUG javamail] JDK 1.4 - Faster Java serialization options?

[Subbu M Iyer]

Hi all,

We are exploring an external caching strategy and we are seeing that
we are paying a big penalty for JDK 1.4 serialization and looking for
ways to optimize that penalty. Does any one know of faster java
serialization utilities/options for JDK 1.4? Also can some one share
any numbers they have comparing JDK 1.4 vs 1.5 vs 1.6 serialization
improvements?

thanks
