@ -39,7 +39,10 @@ Tahoe pays a substantial price:
* The Foolscap developer community is very small.
The implementation therefore advances very little and some non-trivial part of the maintenance cost falls on the Tahoe project.
* The extensible serialization system imposes substantial overhead for the simple data structures Tahoe exchanges.
Tahoe therefore presents a more sluggish experience to users and taxes servers more greatly than is necessary.
* Foolscap encourages a "remote object" style of protocol design with involves many client-server interactions.
However, Foolscap does not implement "promise pipelining".
The result is that Foolscap encourages a protocol that requires many round-trips between client and server.
* The serialization overhead combined with the many round-trips result in Tahoe presenting a more sluggish experience to users and taxes servers more greatly than is necessary.
