Yes, it's about 20megabytes of data (~20000 records). 
Although, each client only get this once when they log on
and each time their cache is wiped.
This is one of the reasons i backed off using
a solution like XUL together with XMLRPC solutions and javascript, 
it would not hold (i tried). My only choice is to use pyGTK with
either pyro/twisted and in the end i decided on going with twisted
because of security concerns that are weighted with performance. 
This is why i was very insistent on compressing after serialization, 
so all the security features will be kept intact.
10x.
