If the problem is the overhead of parsing a large and compex data structure
sent over SOAP rather than the overhead of handling a large number
of SOAP requests, you could perhaps make a semi-customized prototocol,
by sending one large string with the data (maybe compressed) over SOAP,
and (dis)assembling that string "maually" at each end.
