It's always important to peek under your ASP.NET Web Application's or Winform Application's Skirt to understand the memory and performance usage. Red Gate Software's ANTS Profiler has always been one of my favorites. I mentioned it here awhile ago:
Now Red Gate has come out with a Beta 4.0 version of ANTS Profiler that apparently has had a huge makeover.
According to Bart Read this is what you need to know about the new version of ANTS Profiler:
- It’s fast, really really fast; 5 – 30 times faster than ANTS 3.
- It’s got a fantastic UI that’s been validated by a huge amount of user testing.
- The timeline makes it really easy to filter down to the performance data you’re looking for—just click and drag over the region of interest.
- The call tree shows you straight away the most expensive stack trace through your application, and if you’ve selected the right time region, that’s where your performance problem is going to be.
- The call graph has been described by a customer as “incredibly sexy”, and it makes it really easy to understand performance data in context for individual methods. It’s also great for blinding people—like your manager, or your customers – with science because you can print and export the diagrams.
