Came across this article on another list... Note that the co-author is a committer on Axis2 and other Apache WS projects (and he freely admitted so when posting the link to the article). So, take it as you will.
Concludes that in *contract-first* web services, Axis2 w/ADB is faster than XFire w/JAXB. XFire w/JAXB, however, is faster than Axis2 w/JAXB. Does not test XFire w/Aegis because this is not a recommended configuration for contract-first web services. http://wso2.org/library/588 -Chris
