The .NET side is going to have to parse the XML either way.  Web
servies only every pass text around, they can't pass around objects. 
So you're not passing a CF XML document object with type="xml", you're
passing a nested XML document.  The XML document will be part of the
SOAP document (with type="xml"), rather than an XML-escaped string in
the SOAP document (with type="string").  So using type="xml" will only
save you the XML-unescaping on the receiving end, not parsing the XML.

Here's a completely contrived example that has little basis in
reality, but which will illustrate the point:

passing with type="xml":
<soap>
  <var name="myDoc">
    <rootOfDoc>
      <childInDoc />
    </rootOfDoc>
  </var>
</soap>

passing type="string":
<soap>
  <var name="myDoc">
    &lt;rootOfDoc&gt;&lt;childInDoc /&gt;&lt;/rootOfDoc&gt;
  </var>
</soap>
