Interesting performance numbers for Apache SOAP

[Dick Brooks <dick@8760.com>]

I found the quote below in a paper from Indiana University, ref:
http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/soap/sc00/paper/index.html

"Serializing Java objects into SOAP-encoded XML data takes approximately ten
times more memory than the binary representation. Figure 5 compares
serialization and deserialization throughputs for E10K. Sun's native
serialization-deserialization is the fastest. Nexus's performance is
comparable to Sun's. Serialization and deserialization speeds for SOAP-based
(Apache SOAP and nanoSOAP) implementations are approximately 100 times
slower and their throughtputs are also a 100 times lower."

Are others measuring performance of various SOAP processors? If so, would
you mind sharing your results.

Thanks,
