No theoretical limit but your perf will vary based on the XML parser
used and how it's used.  Many SOAP stacks parse a SOAP message into a
DOM which will kill perf for large messages (as opposed to a stream
oriented parser).

There is a lot of gray area but I'd consider >100KB a large SOAP
message.  That doesn't mean messages that large won't work but that your
underlying parsing/XML manipulation code will start to heat up as you go
bigger.
