In this article Damon Payne talks about how he set out to write a Binary Serializer for Silverlight and what he learned along the way.

I have some very large Reference Data entity sets in isolated storage and loading these sets so I can run LINQ queries against them has been extremely painful – I don’t want to have to wait 30 seconds before my feature is usable.  My first analysis lead me to the conclusion that disk IO was my main performance bottleneck and that drastically reducing the file sizes by using Binary Serialization would be just what the doctor ordered.
