Thanks for the response. As I wrote in the original message we use Windows Media Server running on Windows Server 2003 -- so we are not using the Silverlight5 streaming service from Microsoft (which is not really streaming by the way).
When servered from a Windows Media Server there is no progressive download as far as I can see. It is true streaming.
The problem is a WMV file steamed to Windows Media Player has almost instant response when moving the slider or loading initially; however, when streamed to the Silverlight plugin the response times are
markedly slower.
