Tests performed under two conditions (with each xmlrpclib):

>>> xmlrpclib.__version__
------
2001-01-23T20:58:55 INFO(0) ZServer 0:4 (eval)> 'xmlrpclib.__version__'
'0.9.8-sax-patch'

New xmlrpclib sending 5727 genope records joined into one string
(resulting string len = 257703) :

01/23/01 15:07:14 : sending infer (len: 257703)
01/23/01 15:07:14 : panel_infer_fnum 

New xmlrpclib sending 5727 genope records as a list of strings:

01/23/01 15:08:08 : sending infer (len: 5727)
01/23/01 15:08:29 : panel_infer_fnum 

===========================
>>> xmlrpclib.__version__
------
2001-01-23T21:12:03 INFO(0) ZServer 0:3 (eval)> 'xmlrpclib.__version__'
'0.9.8'

Old xmlrpclib sending 5727 genope records as a list of strings:

01/23/01 15:13:13 : sending infer (len: 5727)
01/23/01 15:13:33 : panel_infer_fnum 

Old xmlrpclib sending 5727 genope records joined into one string
(resulting string len = 257703) :

01/23/01 15:14:10 : sending infer (len: 257703)
01/23/01 15:14:11 : panel_infer_fnum 

I ran the client and the server on the same host. 'sending infer'
is posted by the client just before calling the server method.
'panel_infer_num' is the first operation the server method performs
after it is called.

Note that it takes about a second to transfer and parse the string
(len: 257703), but it takes about 20 seconds (within 1 second with
several trys) to transfer and parse the list, using either xmlrpclib.

But at least the sax version works :^)
