Yes, Apache SOAP only does HTTP 1.0. It would be a fair amount of work to support HTTP 1.1, because of persistent connections, but also chunking and the likes. If it were not so much work, I would have already done it ;-). Also, I have hesitated because so many services disable persistent connections on the Web server (it can hurt scalability for very active servers).
You may want to confirm with the network folks that the connection handshake is the issue, rather than the delayed ACK which results from Apache SOAP 2.3.1 default of enabling the Nagle algorithm. You get rid of Nagling by calling SOAPHTTPConnection::setTcpNoDelay(true).
