Question

I heard an example at work of using serialization to serialise some values for a webpart (which come from class properties), as this improves performance (than I assume getting values/etting values from/to database). I know it is not possible to get an explanation of how performance in the scenario I speak of at work can be improved as there is not enough information, but is there any explanation of how serialization can generally improve performance?

Thanks

Serialization never improves performance over directly passing and manipulating objects. It is just a mechanism to transfer objects in some interoperable format (not always necessary to be interoperable).
