Make Your Apps Fly with the New Enterprise Performance Tool

摘要

Fast code is still in vogue. Even though I'm typing this on a machine that has the power and memory to simultaneously control a nuclear power plant, a Mars rover mission, and the air traffic over the American West, and still have plenty of horses left to work on SETI packets in the quest for extrater-restrials, it doesn't mean that developers no longer have to worry about the speed and efficiency of their code. In the old days of Win32~(~R) native development, we not only worried about speed but about those nasty access violations (and Global Protection Faults and Unrecoverable Application Errors for you old-timers) on the PC platform. While managed code has eliminated some of the worries, it just means that those performance issues you are experiencing may be a little more insidious than before. The main reason is that with managed code, we don't have the easy views into the runtime that we had in the native days.
