Remarks
By default, the value of defaultCredentialsHandleCacheSize is 0. This causes Windows to allocate a separate SSPI handle for each HttpWebRequest.
<system.net>
<settings>
<windowsAuthentication defaultCredentialsHandleCacheSize="0" />
</settings>
</system.net>
If this behavior impacts performance, set DefaultCredentialsHandleCacheSize to a value greater than 0 to use a single, cached SSPI credential handle for default network credentials. The exact value depends on application requirements. Generally, a value between 50 and 100 works for most high-performant applications.
