We found in our testing that XML messages, especially big business
transactions, have excellent size reduction ratios.  You need to compromise
speed of compression/decompression against speed of data transfer.
The other issue is that you will need to add decompression and compression
filters yourself into standard SOAP packages that don't have this feature
out of the box.  And all your clients must follow this protocol.  Internally
this is easy to accomplish.  Externally is a different story.

Hi!

One fo the responses to the question about performance indicated that XML
was necessarily (much) slower because of the increased size of the
messages.

Would the difference be significantly decreased if compression were used,
particularly with arrays where the same keywords may be used very
frequently in the message.  Furthermore, if the compression were built into
the xml text generation, might not the processing time to create the
compressed message be very significantly reduced?
