Tony Cairns, the lead developer of XMLSERVICE made that ambiguous
assertion. But he didn't support it with benchmarks.

I mentioned previously that we support customer sites that process millions
of requests for dynamic content through IBM i Apache interfaces. I can
report that the average amount of time spent in the HTTP interface is 1-2
milliseconds per request. Hopefully that puts the performance of the IBM i
Apache server into proper perspective.

It's possible that the QZDASOINIT interface is a little faster than the
HTTP interface. I don't know. But the difference would not be relevant.
