I have something called the NASDAQ 3000 which I use a gateway to compile public companies using 3000 quotes I built up using the NASDAQ 3000 index. It's something like 3251 not 3000. It uses a hsqldb text database embedded inside coldfusion for speed on a shared host.
Basically I recommend not using a webservice and just build something yourself from scratch. I also use java the skip and scrape out or over html tags to get at the good stuff and then save that to text table. The gateway thing is kind of cool, it uses multiple threads. So if one thread is on hold it does not pause the program. Combine that with java to control where on page you want be to avoid html tags and you got a super fast stock info retrieval program. The text table is also for retrieval reasons. I don't want my SQL server, MySql or oracle data to disappear do to admin error so text table it is. I was on one host all three servers SQL server, MySQL and Oracle data would vanish without a trace.
