Carsten, Last year, IEEE published an article called "Latency Performance of SOAP Implementations" that compared stuff like RMI vs Axis vs MS SOAP. You can find it at http://www.caip.rutgers.edu/TASSL/Papers/p2p-p2pws02-soap.pdf. In one of their tests, the latency on an RMI call was 2.3 ms, a MS SOAP call was 33.3ms, and an Axis (alpha 3) call was 76.9ms. Basically, there's a order of magnitude between RMI and SOAP, but no where near the difference you're describing.
My bet is your time problem is something else, not SOAP.

Can any of the authorization settings be tuned in jboss-net.sar to enhance the throughput (no authorization required..)? I am not yet convinced that our experience of dramatically decreasing performance while increasing the number of concurrently accessing clients using soap clients versus RMI-IIOP clients is not caused by the design of the soap protocol. But to be sure that no other effects like proxy settings make things worse I have to examine all clients. Can�t do it at the moment unfortunatly...
