I am not sure how to interpret your response. My statement was not a
casual observation about your tests, but the main explanation for the
difference in performance.

That is one of the reasons why my own archives, unlike the ones
that are part of Boost.Serialization, are constructed to serialize
directly to/from other container types such as arrays, std::string,
and std::vector.
