Fast web services

....that a two to ten-fold performance gain has been documented with the application of Fast Web Services in XML parsing. But he notes that performance hinges on the amount of time applications spend in the tasks of serialization and parsing. "A multiple of 2-10x may sound like a lot, but if the original time spent doing these tasks is so small in comparison to the end-to-end timescales, there isn’t much overall gain," he said. Plus, there are other ways to speed up Web services processing.
Colin comes up with a rule of thumb to follow: use text-based XML for interoperability across systems, and Binary XML or Fast Web Services for system-specific tasks such in-memory messaging or platform-specific tools.
