You've made the misleading comment that according to Microsoft's benchmarks
ASMX outperforms Remoting+IIS. This is NOT true! Please carefully read the
article you yourself pointed to! Remoting is FASTER.

ASMX outperforms Remoting+IIS with SOAP formatter and falls behind
Remoting+IIS with BinaryFormatter.

Again, I'm not talking about my benchmarks or someone else's. I'm talking
about data presented in the article.

The only reason to use SOAP with Remoting I could think of is to bypass
firewalls which block the binary traffic on 80.
