Are you using Winforms or Webforms? How fast is your CPU? I have had a similar problem with ASP.NET Webforms. The first time through takes a noticeable hit in time before the objects on the form instantiate, and the succeeding times I instantiate this form it fires almost instantly. I do not have the solution but I am a “member of the club”! :)
