Could this have been due to the implementation you were using?  I don't
understand how the performance would ever *decrease* with large amounts
of data unless the implementation was just b0rked...  xmlrpc is just
dirt stupid and there's really nothing in there that "scales" at all,
it's just a thin wrapper around the data.  Or is it the text transfer
that just starts to catch up to you, where CORBA does binary?
