Chapter 7

Performance Analysis of Managed Code

In this chapter, we will explore the performance considerations relevant to the .NET common language runtime environment (CLR). First we will review the CLR features that have the most influence on the performance of .NET Web applications, and go into detail about specific performance counters used to analyze typical .NET Web application behavior. Next, we will discuss two applications that Microsoft uses when profiling managed code: Compuware s DevPartner Studio, and Xtremesoft s Appmetrics.
