I'm guessing you were trying to use it with Stubby? Admittedly the networked-RPC use case is not a particularly compelling one for zero-copy (the mmaped-file case is much more so, and maybe even shared-memory RPC). Still, I'd expect that not having to parse varints nor allocate memory would count for something. Wish I could see the test setup.
