Entity-framework code is slow when using Include() many times

Question

Answer 1

Do you have correctly configured relationships between all the entities that you try to 'include'? If at least one entity does not have a relationship to some of other entities, then EF will not able to construct one complex query using SQL join syntax - instead it will execute as many queries as many 'includes' you have. And of course, that will lead to performance issues. Could you please post the exact query(-es) that EF generates in order to get the data?
