These are pretty educated guesses :-). This kind of reasoning has been behind a lot of Google initiatives, such as protocol buffers. If you're slinging enough data around, smaller payloads and faster serialization/deserialization does have a significant payoff. Once you're marinated in that mentality it probably sticks.
