It would explain what I'm seeing here if the network call interrupts the animation so it can do its thing.

It doesn't make sense that the wcf call would block the UI as that's the whole reason for having async calls. Is the animation stopping or just stuttering? It may be a thread polling for a response from the service which is blocking the animation.
