Depends on how large graphs are and how often this facility is used in the
application.  Marshal.to_string tries to compress the structure into a
binary string.  Storage allocation, compression, and decompression are
potential overhead.  If you need faster version, you can make your own.  Try
look at byterun/extern.c.  It's an over-night job, if you are lucky.
