I would have guessed quite the opposite - XML adds a huge bloat compared to binary serialized data and XML marshalling and un-marshalling tends to be much slower than binary serialization and de-serialization. and this paper Comparison of Web Services, Java-RMI, and CORBA service implementations corroborates that - web services are 2 to 10 times as costly as Java RMI or CORBA.
This is why it is important to keep web services as coarse grained as possible.
