I have the following (simple) VB6 code:

Dim xmlDoc As MSXML2.DOMDocument30 Set xmlDoc = New MSXML2.DOMDocument30  Dim xmlRequest As MSXML2.XMLHTTP40 Set xmlRequest = New MSXML2.XMLHTTP40  xmlRequest.open 'GET', 'http://myserver.com/Service.svc/models/20080101', False xmlRequest.setRequestHeader 'Accept-Encoding:', 'gzip/deflate' xmlRequest.send  xmlDoc.loadXML xmlRequest.responseText

which downloads a bunch of stuff from a web service I wrote.

In an XP VM (Virtual PC) running on my main machine, this code executes and returns data from the web service in ~4 seconds. However, if compiled and the resulting exe run on my main machine (Vista x64) it takes 20+ seconds to return data from the web service.

Can anyone shed any light on why this might be the case?
