depends on what you want to do with it....
if you transfer small chunks of date very often, you've got a problem, as
the soap-wrapper is larger than the transferred data.
Still, even in this situation it is multitudes faster than bloated corba :-)

On the other side, if you tranfer a transaction-log, the soap-wrapper is
peanuts compared to it. http-request, transaction log tranferred, connection
closed. Stateless, goes through every firewall (port 8080) and can be
switched any time to another urn. I don't think, you can get it much easier.

Oh, and the way, no matter how slow soap is, compare it to COM, and you'll
grin :-)
