That's the idea behind the Nagle algorithm, but in practice it only matters for things that resemble interactive typing. The idea is that you get a lot of 1-byte payloads with 41 bytes or so of packet overhead, so the Nagle algorithm waits a bit (200 ms) to see if you're going to type more. In the case of a SOAP request, all the payload is ready to go at once, so there is nothing to wait for. Using the Nagle algorithm in this context always inserts the delay and never reduces any network traffic. PS:- "Nagle" might actually be "Nagel". I can never remember.
