The ONLY reason I need to use the portable binary archive, is because the usual binary archive's header is incompatible between 32 and 64 bit. And potentially version number integers and number-of-elements-in-an-array integers and other such overhead stuff.

well of course that's the only reason. binary archive can just stream all the bits. to be portable, each element must be considered for endianness at a minimum. One could possible make this faster, but I doubt that it would be worth the effort. Robert Ramey

your thoughts?
