ruby soap implementation

[schnepfe]

Hi,
we have compared php and ruby Web Service clients.
Both clients call a Web Service getting a response containing an array
of about 10000 integers.
We oberserved that the ruby client is 10 times slower than the php
client.

Anyone have similar experience ?
What XML parser is used in the SOAP implementation?

System: debian
Versions: ruby1.8.5-2

Thanks,
Jörg

I use activesalesforce which interacts with salesforce via SOAP and it
is definitely not fast. I would be very interested to hear if anyone has
any ideas why this is so slow compared to PHP.

Cheers!
