Answer 1

protobuf-net generally has a significant space-saving (as in: order-of-magnitude) on most data, and can attach to WCF. Unfortunately at the moment it doesn't support full graphs, only trees. However, I have plans there that I simply haven't had time to implement. I can't promise anything, but I could try to bump that work a bit sooner.

Otherwise; there may be ways to tweak your existing code to work with a tree instead of a graph.
