Thanks for th great responses.
Barnaby: My soap service is already the equivelant of 'Hello World' (returns '3' rather than 'Hellp World') Heitzso: I fibbed a bit, I just re-checked the linux and the round trip call time varied between 31ms and 47ms. Still pretty respecable. Running Java 1.3.0_02 w/ hotspot, tomcat 3.2.3 and soap 2.2 Glen (or anybody): > socket.setTcpNoDelay(true)) Any idea where the outgoing socket to do this to would be? (What piece of code? I assume I should get the source version of soap and monkey with it. Or should I be messing with the tomcat source instead?)
