Is this an "account server" (managing passwd like data) or an 
"accounting server" (managing eg call traffic)?
Are the 10K transactions just for password checks or full account 
retrieval? In the former case you might also consider just using HTTP 
basic authentication, this will reduce the payloads to HTTP headers 
specified in standard HTTP.

Assuming that those script clients are not the primary traffic 
generators (and therefore do not require the 10K RPCs), maybe XML-RPC 
as an _additional_ protocol might make sense?
I suppose moving your existing binary protocol clients/servers to be 
byte ordering sensitive should be much easier than to switch everything 
to a XML-RPC?


Anyway, I think sufficient OT suggestions have been made to close the 
thread :-) But I would be very interested with your final choice and 
also with runtime timings you have done (what RPC/s with what 
technology, etc).
