on web services for prentice hall and already have chapters
on J2EE/SOAP and .NET/SOAP. it would be great to include
a chapter on AXIS/SOAP!

:-) It certainly would be .. however, you'd have to put the
fastest possible JAXP parser with Apache SOAP and then try
it .. Xerces is solid and all, but ain't the fastest by
any means.
Apache SOAP has never had any optimization effort put into
it. I am currently making some mods that'll improve things
a bit (someone found an obvious bottleneck with the way
SOAPMappingRegistry's were being created) but other than
that we never put any effort into making it fast. Axis is
charged with that mission .. Apache SOAP is a robust
implementation (given the pretty large number of downloads
its pretty impressive to not have any major bugs so far)
and not one that concentrated on performance.
