Speed. We would prefer JSON::XS or some other faster serializer, but at the moment, we're limited by Perl 5.6.2, which is not JSON::XS compatible. This Perl is the newest we can reliably make binaries against at the moment. We plan to remedy this in 2013. Shipping a set of Perl 5.14.3 RPMs as part of cPanel was the first part of this plan.
