Further to this suggestion, I just stumbled across a note from 2007 that claims String.split is about 10x faster than the XML parser - making delimited ASCII a good solution for (as an example) transferring name-value pairs: http://onflash.org/ted/2007/11/apis-with-delimited-ascii-text-vs-xml.php As noted, gzip compression can reduce the overall message size. I'm looking forward to the moment when I finally test and compare various solutions - I'll post results whenever I've got them.
