We are currently using the "escape" format.  This has the potential to  
increase the data size by 5-6 times: \\xxx for one character, with the  
additional overhead that the backslashes may themselves need to be  
escaped.

Instead use hex escaping, the preferred way, which should only  
increase payload size 2 times:
