You don't know till you measure!

If you are serious about getting the
best performance possible out of a managed app, you need to be using a
profiler. The devs that designed
and wrote the "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />CLR still need to use a profiler to
judge how to improve the performance of a managed app.. o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Answer questions like how many
ArrayLists am I creating? When is
my peak memory usage?
Etc

Here is one profiler… there are
others. I know the guy that wrote
this one and is the same guy that made the GC scale super well on multi-proc
machines. He knows memory
management inside and out…
