This library does not add any performance overhead to gRPC-java.

Please refer to the official gRPC benchmarks:

• grpc.io: Benchmarking
• grpc-java: Running Benchmarks

gRPC offers various benefits over plain HTTP, but it’s hard to put it in actual numbers. Heavily optimized web-servers perform as good as normal gRPC-servers.

Here are the main benefits/differences from grpc over plain HTTP:

• Binary data format (a lot faster, but not human readable)
• Protobuf defined data scheme, that can be used to generate data classes and clients for many languages
• HTTP/2 connections and connection pooling
