How do I speed up Web Service instantiate time?

Hi,

I have a web service I'm calling and upon investigation I see the creation of the client is taking about 0.5-1 second alone. This is using web reference .net 2.0.

SomeWS.SomeWSSoapClient client = new SomeWS.SomeWSSoapClient(); // takes 0.5-1 seconds

Is this normal? Is it fetching something from the service endpoint that I can stop?

I compared it to adding via a service reference and while the client takes a short time to instantiate (0.2 secs) the call takes a lot longer and the overall time is longer.

What can I do to speed up the instantiate time? Which method should be quicker?

thanks a lot!
