Hey Dennis - 

I've only run through a sample with Flex web services. I found it easier
touse simple XML over HTTP, or the flex data services to do RPC and let
the Flex Server handle the serialization.

I was looking at an article on AMFphp and OpenAMF (flash remoting for
Php and Java)...which linked to a benchmark (a bit dated, used Flash 7.0
instead of current 9.0). 

The reason I bring that up is they made a point worth considering -- to
consume a non-local service, you have to leverage a server proxy, so it
may be faster in some situations to leverage the Server to connect to
the SOAP service, and use the faster flash remoting to the Flex front
end.

(Note: I'm fairly sure Flex v2 can connect to non-local services, but
the services must have a permissions file at the server root to allow
connections. )
