I maintain a self-hosted no-config REST WCF service.
Since it's no-config, I can tell you with certainty that ServiceHost.Open() blocks almost EXACTLY 40 seconds; I have logging before and after the call. I also maintain a standard ASPX site with 2 or 3 WCF services. It is hosted as an IIS site. It, too, takes 40 seconds to return the first call. Furthermore, all my other browser traffic is LOCKED during that time. Additionally, database calls (made on another thread) timeout all when that first WCF call finishes. I have to make changes dozens of times per day and this is quite frustrating.
