Is your embedded server a HTTP/1.1 server? If so, try setting Expect100Continue=false on the webrequest before you call GetRequestStream(). This will ensure that the HTTP stack does not expect the "HTTP/1.1 100 continue" header response from the server, before sending the entity body. So, even though the packets will still be split between the header and body, the inter packet gap will be shorter.
