WCF client calls slow
Today I was able to get back to my previous
WCF client problem that I had described

You can say that I'm a curious stubborn guy and since I thought the discovery thing was the problem, I decided to look at the IE settings. And guess what? It had the automatically detect settings of the LAN Settings option turned on. Turning it off solved the 1st time request. After knowing the problem, it was really easy to get a confirmation for it:
Dr. Nicholas Allen had already a
great entry which discusses this kind of problems.
