I was seriously considering storing the XML file straight from the server (and probably will)... it just seemed like deserializing objects whenever the data is needed "should" be faster than reparsing an XML file.

Object serialization works because it's very generic, and generic code can run very slowly. Also, storage is a lot larger; I think I decreased file sizes from 10+ kilobytes with serialization to under a kilobyte (that does count gzipping my JSON).
