Not that it would have any bearing on the argument, but I am curious-- 
what are the numbers for the .xls file? Original size, compression 
factor, etc. Comparing that with the XML version might be slightly more 
correlary (if still inexact). And then we can kick up the whole binary 
serialization argument...
