Is .net remoting faster than web services?

I have a confusion that .Net remoting is faster than the web services or not. And if it is so then can anyone gives me the reason for that?

.Net remoting is faster than web service when it uses TCP channel with binary formatter. But if you use soap formatter in .net remoting web services with soap formatter either with TCP or HTTP channel provides faster solution. So it depends on what formatter your use and what is the transport protocol you use.
