Python SOAP and XML-RPC performance extremely low?

[Jack]

No, I'm not using any accelerator. The code is extremely simple (from 
toofpy):

# XML-RPC test
import xmlrpclib
srv = xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:4334/RPC2/greeting')
print srv.greeting('you', 5)

# SOAP test
import SOAPpy
srv = SOAPpy.SOAPProxy('http://localhost:4334/SOAP/greeting')
print srv.greeting('you', 5)

It really surprised me that they were so slow to execute.
