We have a query that takes 2 seconds to run in Sql Server Management Studio but it takes 13 seconds to be shown on a client screen. I used dotTrace to profile my source code and noticed there is this SNIReadSync method (part of ADO.net assemblies)that takes a lot of time to do its job(9 seconds).I ran my source over server so I could omit the network effects and the result was the same.

It doesn't matter if I'm using OleDBConnection or SqlConnection.

It doesn't matter if I'm using a DataReader or a DataSet.

Connection pooling does not solve this issue(as my result shows).

I googled this issue and I couldn't find an answer to the question that what this method is actually doing and how we can improve it.

here's what I found on StakOverFlow that's not helpful either: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1610874/snireadsync-executing-between-120-500-ms-for-a-simple-query-what-do-i-look-for
