Hi,

Using Webservices is not as fast as for example DCOM/COM+. This is because it generates some overhead (description of class) in XML. But this gives you the advantage that your Webservice can be used on clients that do not have your original class defenitions (in a .DLL for example).

When your application is only being accessed by .NET clients, you can use .NET Remoting also. This is much faster than Webservice because you can use binary transmisson instead of XML.
