Profiling with dotTrace from JetBrains

Kjell-Sverre, a colleague of mine, downloaded a great profiling tool today which saved us a lot of time finding performance bottlenecks when loading an application. I would never have guessed where the problem was, which brings to mind a previous post Josh wrote on Premature Optimisation. It is a lot better to leave optimisation until you actually have a performance problem. It will ultimately save you time and any optimisation you are likely to do will actually solve real performance show stoppers.
