Hi,

>>If I create a big WebService with gazillions of methods & parameters, perhaps each call can be slow if all these methods and parameters are part of the soap message.

Don't think the total number of methods will affect the total package size of a specific web service call - just the wsdl size. Increasing the number of parameters obviously will increase the package size but IAC I think it's more efficient to use a 'chunky' design (even if you are maintaining state)
