CORBA. Or TCP/IP directly. I know that isn't really the answer you're looking for - but there is an overhead parsing XML, and that can't go away. >From what I read at SGMLOP's site I doub't that you can get much faster - because speed comes with sacrificing standard compliancy, which it already seems to do.
