Just as an FYI, Axis on two of my machines benchmarked at about 4X and about
8X the performance of ApacheSOAP 2.2 a few weeks ago (the 8X was certainly
due to the fact that something in Axis (likely the parser) was able to
utilize the dual processors on my work box to great effect). Still don't
get no 500 msgs/second, though.... :) That said, Axis as it stands hasn't
been seriously combed for optimizations either.
