I have written some test  for the different kind of serialization archives
in my application.
In the test below the only difference is the kind of archive used
 ( and use of ios::binary for the binary streams)

ANode:: ...test_node_tree_persistence_text                       file_size:
4014
ANode:: ...test_node_tree_persistence_binary                   file_size:
5351
ANode:: ...test_node_tree_persistence_portable_binary  file_size: 2878

What I don't understand is why should the binary archive serialization
file size be larger than text ?
