I honestly can say that I'm not all that surprised that it's taking 620k write calls to output a 3.6 MB file. The reason is a serializer processes a table and outputs a stream as it does its work. It writes a beginning enclosure when it encounters a table, it writes for every key/value pair, it writes an ending enclosure when it exits a table, and so on. When you have a large table and/or lots of nesting, that's a lot of individual writes.
