    30  Benchmarking tests were run for ToJson and ToProtocolBuffer methods. Results
    31  from the `go test` command are tabulated below.

    46  We can see that ToProtocolBuffer method allocates less memory and takes lesser
    47  time than ToJson method.

    50  These are the benchmarking results after changing type of Value in x.DirectedEdge,
    51  type of ObjectValue in NQuad to []byte and using the byte slice directly from
    52  flatbuffers instead of parsing into an interface.(Commit SHA - 480b1337f). We
    53  can see tremendous improvement(>50% on an average) for all metrics. For exact
    54  percentage change, we can run benchcmp to compare the metrics.

    71  These are the benchmarking results after including the protocol buffer Marshalling
    72  step which was missing in the previous benchmarks. So, this would be the true
    73  comparison of Json vs Protocol buffers. Also, the proto library was changed to
    74  gogo protobuf from go protobuf.

    91  
    92  On using sync.Pool to manage the graph.Node in ToProtocolBuffer, we can see improvements
    93  in the amount of memory used. On generating a memory profile from PB benchmarks like
    94  
    95  go test -run=xx -bench=BenchmarkToPB_ -memprofile=syncpool.mem
    96  go tool pprof --alloc_space query.test syncpool.mem
    97  
    98  We observe that 1.28GB memory is allocated in total compared to 1.76GB before the change.
    99  Most of the reduction comes from the preTraverse function.
