+To give you a general idea about speed, with texts in the megabyte range,
+C<CBOR::XS> usually encodes roughly twice as fast as L<Storable> or
+L<JSON::XS> and decodes about 15%-30% faster than those. The shorter the
+data, the worse L<Storable> performs in comparison.
+
+As for compactness, C<CBOR::XS> encoded data structures are usually about
+20% smaller than the same data encoded as (compact) JSON or L<Storable>.

 The primary goal of this module is to be I<correct> and the secondary goal
 is to be I<fast>. To reach the latter goal it was written in C.
