Vista - Start up time is very slow

Pentium D 960, dual core, 3.6 GHz+, RAID 0 striped high speed SATA
drives.

Its rare that something runs slow on this machine. But WCF initiation
takes 18 seconds. I can reboot XP quicker than that, in fact more than
once.

At first I thought it was an endpoint, which really worried me. I have
a need for multiple endpoints on a single machine (simulation). So I
added a second one - and to my delight the second one didnt take 18
seconds, it popped up right after the first.

Does anyone have any idea what takes 18 seconds and if I can speed it
up? Its really making debugging a chore. I dont have any code in my
init, its a simple console app derived from the standard WCF host
template.

The shell looks like this (Nothing useful to see, but to illustrate
what I mean better).

static void Start(string aURI) {
Console.WriteLine("Starting: " + aURI);
new AgentServiceHost(aURI);
Console.WriteLine(" OK");
}

static void Main(string[] args) {
Start("http://localhost:8080/x");
Start("http://localhost:8080/y");
Console.WriteLine("");
Console.WriteLine("All started");
Console.ReadLine();
}

So right away I see:
Starting http://localhost:8080/x

Then 18 seconds delay, then immediately all at once:
Ok
Starting http://localhost:8080/y
Ok

All started

Now that I have each one running in its own AppDomain, its 18 seconds
for each one. Start up time during debugging is horrible.

Actually its not 18 seconds each one, but more like 20 for first, 10
for second and so on.

I put them in a threadpool so that they would all start simulteaneously
and hopefully thus when I started 10 or so, it would take 20 seconds
and not 110. But even threadpool + app domains does not help. It still
takes just as long.

WCF server startup slow on W2K3 in VM

I'm on XP and not even part of a domain, but maybe?

Bugger all. Thats what it is. This machine has two ethernet + wifi +
several virtual adaptors. WCF is only using one, but that is exactly
what is taking so long.

Anyone have any work arounds? I'm on XP Pro, cant make it a domain
controller and I really cant drop it from the network either.

Didn't you tried to disable adapters before ?

I cant - I need this machine to be on the internet. Besides I did a TCP
spy and its only using one adaptor, the main one.

Sure, only one used due to route table ( IP of route with less metric - you
can check which with "route print" command in dos box routing ). For me it
always take few seconds ( up to 3-5 ) but not 18 ( but I'm in domain ) both
on IIS or as selfhost. Did you tried to add to domain ( temporarily ) to see
the difference ?
