I guess I am more questioning why it "automatically" returns a list of all updated objects. Would it not be much more efficient if we could pass along a flag that allows us to opt-in for a returned list of those objects? If our software needs to go and update 5,000 criterion bids (and the bids are the only thing I am modifying), I have to wait for server to accept and process the SOAP request, generate a full list of all criterion updated (including destination URLs, preferred positions, keyword text, etc.) and wait for that object to come across the network and ultimately discard all that extraneous data. That seems highly inefficient in my opinion.
Or what is the possibility of just returning the modified parts of the object updated?
