the problem is still there, but i found out now, that the process which 
is running up to 20 seconds runs AFTER the requested soap-message from 
the soap-server. i noticed that when the server writes the log file(of 
the soap-process) immediatly after clicking on my 
mozilla/firefox-get-soap-button.

so, if there is anyone who knows what the soap-handler is working on 
after requesting the message from the server pls enlight me.
