Boon beats regular Java serialization but gets knocked out by Kryo (expected).

i.g.j.s.MainBoonSerializer.roundTriper              thrpt  16         6    1   312757.286    75458.502    ops/s

Boon beats regular Java serialization by 6x and gets to around 50% of Kryo.

i.g.j.s.MainBoonSerializer.serializeBig             thrpt  16         6    1      375.406       27.258    ops/s

Boon kills built in Java serialization and gets within 82% of Kryo. That is fast. Remember Boon is parsing JSON and producing JSON.

i.g.j.s.MainBoonSerializer.serializeSmall           thrpt  16         6    1   923105.250    51177.109    ops/s

Boon kills built in Java serialization and does not do too bad against Kryo.
