It appears that this was a result of java 1.4 not keeping alive the ssl connection in between invokes..
I resolved this by using WJCarpenter's HTTPClientSoapConnection.

If you have been using a parser that is much faster, that could be the difference. You can choose the parser that gets used by specifying the DocumentBuilderFactory. Sun's docs for DocumentBuilderFactory#newInstance state >>>> Obtain a new instance of a DocumentBuilderFactory. This static method creates a new factory instance. This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine the DocumentBuilderFactory implementation class to load: Use the javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory system property. Use the properties file "lib/jaxp.properties" in the JRE directory. This configuration file is in standard java.util.Properties format and contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the system property defined above. Use the Services API (as detailed in the JAR specification), if available, to determine the classname. The Services API will look for a classname in the file META- INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory in jars available to the runtime. Platform default DocumentBuilderFactory instance. <<<< On the server, you can specify the parser in web.xml with a parameter named XMLParser, the value of which is the class of the DocumentBuilderFactory.
