  • Performance Profiling a SharePoint 2010 Project using EQATEC Profiler

    I wanted to profile a SharePoint 2010 project i’d been working on, in order to find some of the slower methods so that they could be improved.  I decided to give EQATEC Profiler a try since it had some good recommendations on StackOverflow and was FREE.
