Yes. Also packet sizes are important for RPC... so even a 10% saving can result in substantial *practical* benefits. I can't wait to see the first set of web-services appear... many people will try to get good performance out of fine-grained interfaces... and be surprised to find that performance is terrible. Chit-chat combined with bloated messages are the death of distributed systems. It depends on the kind of data being sent/received of course... but in general, I've found that the lower down the stack you go, the more sense binary formats make.
