The number of reads (or perhaps the computation time to construct the objects)
does seem related, as the block goes away entirely if I either wrap the
WebConnectionStream in a BufferedStream, or read the contents of the
WebConnectionStream in 4096-byte chunks, write those to a MemoryStream, and
then perform the deserialization using the MemoryStream.

Right now I am using the BufferedStream approach as a temporary workaround, so
this bug is not blocking me.  But it does strike me as odd, and I would
definitely be interested to know what's going wrong.
