I have an object that is quite big (an instance that contains all the 
information required for a production scheduling problem - at least 2 
meg) and i wish to save it in a binary object storage format. This seems 
to take an eternity (more than half an hour). Why is this taking so long 
while I can save the entire image in a few seconds?

Thank's in advance for your explanation
