Found some articles on binary serialization of datasets for the CF.

To summarize, XML Datasets can be huge and, therefore, take a lot of time and memory to transfer data to the client. Serializing them on a binary channel should be much faster, but the DataSet's serialization mechanism only supports XML. So, if transferred in binary format, the XML is simply converted to binary and you get a huge binary file instead of text and nothing is gained.

These are some links to articles that show various ways to efficiently serialize and compress DataSets.

NOTE that version 2 of the CF will supposedly support more efficient binary DataSet serialization.
