Hey up, Paul! > What parts of the stack are you using to create 6k of namespaces etc? wsa:To, wsa:Action and WSS (a cert and some signing), that's it.

WSS and "trust" is the remaining reason to use SOAP in my book. Of course we haven't thought about adding WS-RX to the mix ;-)
Actually, I felt bad after sending the mail I certainly don't want to knock the excellent work WSO2 are doing, especially with Axis2. Comparing stacks like with like is fine, it's just the "SOAP isn't slow" message that pushed my buttons. Like any performance testing, it depends on so many other factors :- I recall timing FTAM file transfers that the bottle neck was more often than not disk, or CPU and not the network for short distances. We then introduced a satellite link and flipped the results on their head - it's Winchester, Waldo or Einstein that's going to get you. Choose!
