Re: XML versus SOAP/WSDL Performance

[Aiko Pras <pras@ctit.utwente.nl>]

SOAP uses XML. Performance problems you have with XML (parsing etc) will 
also show up if you use SOAP. However, with SOAP you'll probably get 
some more problems. I would like to know which are the most important ones.

is a nice paper that gives some more details
