Right. Because protobuf parsing is not built into the browser, you have to add the time it takes to transfer protobuf code as well.

But transferring the parser happens once, transferring JSON happens every time.
Really depends on the use case I guess. But any situation where I'm using JSON arrays instead of keyed objects for efficiency reasons is probably a situation where flatbuffers makes just as much (if not more) sense.
