I think it more depends on what you are using the SOAP stack for. IMO, most people are using it in cases where the expected response time is in the <20 second range. But that could be biased by our usage here (where most calls are in the 1-5 second range). Also, isn't 3 minutes high for a simple UDDI query? Thanks, Jess
