Protobuf does not handle serialization of Java objects. You can give it a byte[] array (or an int/float/etc or a String). Hence my suggestion for the benchmark. I suspect that the majority of the time is going to computing the byte[] array representing your object, which you'd have to do for protobuf anyways. > > Also one of my custom object classes has a nested object class inside of it, > will this slow down serialization? > > > On Wednesday, February 26, 2014 9:10:24 PM UTC-5, Ilia Mirkin wrote: >> >> On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 3:03 PM, jCoder <[email protected]> wrote: >> > I was wondering if anyone had any success implementing this with a >> > HashMap >> > that has a pointer to a BufferedImage. >> > Example: >> > Map thumb = new HashMap<String, BufferedImage>(); >> > >> > I am currently using Serialization with a custom writeObject() and >> > readObject() to turn the BufferedImage into a byte[] and back again. >> > >> > However this process takes roughly 25 second+ for approximately 18,000 >> > BufferedImages (size: 16pixels x 12pixels) previously loaded into memory >> > to >> > be serialized into a file (resulting size 9,408 KB). >> > Please note this all happening on a SSD (so disk write speed should not >> > be >> > an issue). >> > >> > There has be a faster way to do this perhaps Protocol Buffers can help, >> > I am >> > just not sure the best way to handle a BufferedImage with it would be. >> > >> > Any help would be greatly appreciated. >> >> Try writing a benchmark that simply converts the BufferedImages to >> byte[] and throws away the results.
