WPF loading

My unit test uses XamlReader.Load to load a XAML document from embedded
resource, it takes about 5 seconds before first test is executed - following
test cases are executed fast. It seems as if it takes long time for WPF
components to get loaded/initialized.

Where can I get more info on this process?

What can I do to optimize that?

Is your embedded resource XAML or BAML? Set the "content" to Page in
Visual Studio to compile the XAML in BAML and speed the loading process.

It's XAML.

Interesting though, that it happens only when I run unit tests from VS 2005
with JetBrain's UnitRun. The same tests ran with FitNesse, or ran on "Vista
on Mac" run just fine. Seems like it might be an issue of a configuration,
rather then WPF.

Any ides what I could use to profile the process?

"Iniialization" part takes about 10 seconds.
