how to use xmlrpc properly in windows xp

[Leo Jay]

i just wrote a server and client for xmlrpc test.

if server and client run in the same machine, everything is fine.
but if server and client run in different machine, the speed is unbearably
slow.
i tried several times, and the approx time is about 18.5 sec to invoke
server.test() 5 times.
i had turned off the firewall in windows before running those tests.

but what interesting is, if i run the server in a FreeBSD machine, the speed
boosts up
to less than 1 sec to invoke server.test() 5 times. approx 20 times faster.

any suggestions? thanks in advance.

here is my source code.

############# server.py #############
from SimpleXMLRPCServer import SimpleXMLRPCServer
import SocketServer

port = 31281

a = 1

def test():
    global a
    a += 1
    print a
    return a

def main():
    # Create server
    print 'listening at port', port
    server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("", port))
    server.register_introspection_functions()

    server.register_function(test)

    server.serve_forever()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()



############# client.py #############
import xmlrpclib
from datetime import datetime

server = xmlrpclib.Server("http://%s:%d" % ('192.168.0.92', 31281))
start = datetime.now()
print server.test()
print server.test()
print server.test()
print server.test()
print 'total: ', datetime.now() - start
