Strange. Here's what I found:
>>> value = [r for r in xrange(1000000)] +[{1:2,3:4,5:6},{"simon":"wittber"}]
>>> import time, marshal
>>> t1=time.time();s=marshal.dumps(value);t2=time.time()
>>> t2-t1
0.22474002838134766
>>> len(s)
5000061
>>> t1=time.time();new_value=marshal.loads(s);t2=time.time()
>>> t2-t1
0.3606879711151123
>>> new_value == value
True
>>>
I can't reproduce your large times for marshal.dumps. Could you
post your test code?
