Paul Yes they are faster i have observed the same in my framework too. They are around 30% faster. But the POX REST services are as good as the SOAP. Interestingly we want one of our customers to move to the new architecture where we have SOAP based messages and also POX based web services deployed on Axis2. The client is reluctant to move on to the new one because he was using GET based services earlier which was giving him 30% faster results. As i discussed earlier also that baggage of having the extra attributes such as the namespaces could be causing the slowness in the POX based services. Vibhor

Its simply XML parsing time. Did you notice a big difference? In my tests I noticed that GET requests were about 25% faster than SOAP XML POSTS.
