gwt-rpc

I am evaluating if there is a performance variation between calls made using GWT-RPC and HTTP Call.

My appln services are hosted as Java servlets and I am currently using HTTPProxy connections to fetch data from them. I am looking to convert them to GWT-RPC calls if that brings in performance improvement.

I would like to know about pros/cons of each...

Also any suggestions on tools to measure performance of Async calls...
