Yes. If mtom is on, we always setup the mime envelopes and such. Thus, the messages on the wire a bit bigger (extra set of mime headers, boundaries, etc...). Also, on the receiving side, reading is a little bit more expensive as we need to examine each byte read to make sure a boundary isn't hit. Not super expensive, but probably measurable. -- Daniel Kulp dk...@apache.org http://www.dankulp.com/blog
