Should I be sending my SharePoint <Batch> xml to create multiple folders in my list in one request?

I wrote a class called BatchSharePointUpdater to create a single <Batch> xml node and add to it a bunch of XML <Method> commands queued up to be sent to the SharePoint server. Once I have all of the commands queued up in my BatchSharePointUpdater instance I run it's commitBatchOperation() to send the entire <Batch> xml node and it's children to the SharePointServer.

The idea was to send one request with everything in it, including operations like list deletion and creation.

At the time I wrote my BatchSharePointUpdater I had falsely assumed that operations such as list creation and deletion would be included in the wsProxy.UpdateListItems(listName, batchRootNode) method which is called when I run the Bat开发者_StackOverflow社区chSharePointUpdater.commitBatchOperation(), however it appears that this isn't the case.

This has left me wondering if I should really be keeping all things folder creation to be sent in a single request. My BatchSharePointUpdater doesn't really seem worth all the effort in light of the fact that you can't send list creation and deletion in a single request.

Am I right or wrong in thinking this?
