Might be useful to convert to NSData if your dictionary contains standard classes (eg. NSString) and not custome ones:

NSDictionary *yourdictionary = ...;
NSData * data = [NSPropertyListSerialization dataFromPropertyList:yourdictionary
    format:NSPropertyListBinaryFormat_v1_0 errorDescription:NULL];    
NSLog(@"size of yourdictionary: %d", [data length]);
