SOAP::Lite is nice but has some performance issues - e.g. it took 8 seconds to do a Hello World type application, calling from client to server once, on a 350 MHz AMD box. These may now have been solved, but any
SOAP-based system will probably put more load on the server than plain HTTP/CGI.

Where did you get your figures for
SOAP::Lite and when were they made?

My figures for
SOAP::Lite are probably pessimistic, and quite old, from Jan this year I think - I am not a
SOAP::Lite expert, and this was a while ago, so there are probably ways of getting much better performance. In fact, one person emailed me to say they got about 1call/s for
CGI, 8 for Apache::Registry and 9 for mod_perl with server on Win98 on P250, and another person got 23 ms per RPC call on an unspecified platform using
CGI.
