With respect for the library and Ramey, I'd like to point out
that results obtained with the Boost Serialization library are
frequently less efficient than those from the C++ Middleware

.

Additionally, the C++ Middleware Writer automates the
job of writing serialization functions for structs/classes
unless it is directed not to do so.
