Python SOAP and XML-RPC performance extremely low?

To use sgmlop, just download and install it.  Your code doesn't need to
change.  The xmlrpclib module detects its presence and uses it
automatically.

As someone else noted though, a five-second delay for such a small example
doesn't seem to be an XML-RPC problem.  A simple round-trip to my XML-RPC
server running on the localhost takes about 5 *milli*seconds.  That's with
sgmlop installed, but even without it, I can't imagine it taking more than
50-100 ms.
