The network difference between compressed JSON or a compressed format is likely negligible.

But jcgrillo was talking about storage (at least his link was). And when parsing for analysis or for storing millions of points daily, there's no doubt that a binary format is simply a lot more CPU and disk efficient.

Usually the JSON gets transformed into a binary format (example: BSON).
