The one reason I found is that the REST interface must serialize 
everything before returning.

For example, if you are looking for ALL the data from your database, 
instead of streaming it while parsing the database, you have to 
serialize the entire database to an in-memory array, and return that, 
which the REST interface will then serialize to JSON.

In my case, I had to output the data manually to avoid insane memory 
consumption.
