Message Frequently Asked Questions
What is the overhead in a binary message?
The BIN message format is designed to be very efficient and small. The MegaDemo shows those values, so there is no need to set breakpoints.
We have tested the IntegerArray and here are the results:
- 0 items: 64bytes
- 1 item: 68 bytes
- 10 items: 104 bytes (94 compressed, 10%)
- 100 items: 464 bytes (242 compressed 48%)
- 1,000 items: 4064 bytes (1376 compressed, 67%)
- 10,000 items: 40064 bytes (12345 [really! ;-] compressed, 70%)
It is safe to say that 64 bytes is the basic per-call message overhead.
