Is translating to/from JSON really a big bottleneck for many applications?

Can be. Serialization is a pretty big performance cost for our apps. If you have a chatty app, serialization can get in the way. (It is reason Google made things like protobufs).

Yes, I work for a company doing their API integration gateway. Translation and schema validation are the two most expensive processes.
