Where do you get those numbers from? Results naturally vary a lot according to
the data set, but given a sufficiently smart scheme compression of the
structural information tends to revolve around 2% of the original size (x20
factor) quite easily.
With some SOAP messages it can get really stupid on some requests with factors
over 200.
And then the rest varies according to the data/structure ratio, whether zlib is
an option or not, whether some things can be optimised away, etc. but 50% would
seem highly unusual to me.
