Yes, but:

1. My benchmarks (which I don't have anymore) showed marshal to be MUCH
faster than cPickle
2. I'm serializing dictionaries that contain strings and numbers, e.g.,
I don't need any features that pickle has over marshal
3. I'm trying to keep overhead down as much as possible.


Thanks for the thought,
