can write this data to disk. So, you needs 20MB. If serialize (and of course unserialize) would be able to write directly to disk (or read directly from disk), you only needs 10MB.
Actually having serialize/unserialize be able to write directly to a stream and read directly from a stream might be interesting, would probably improve working with things like large sessions or caching large data substantially.
