I agree that fast serializer should be implemented by native code. However, once user serialize handler is implemented, overhead of user serialize handler is calling 2 PHP functions. i.e. serialize/unserialize functions whatever module provides. Users may compress/encrypt session data whatever methods also. If user wants serialize/compress/encrypt, 6 PHP functions calls are required. It would be reasonably fast. User serialize handler provides much freedom than now. I cannot write all possible serialize handlers users want. Therefore, I would like to introduce user serialize handler.
