Hi Russell, To reinforce Vitali's point, you're not likely to gain much about how your application will perform for your users by profiling it in hosted mode. For most performance hot spots, testing the application and using it in the hosted mode browser should be more than enough to sound the alarm on code that is executing is slower than you would expect. Running a profiler over hosted mode won't tell you much because of the extra inner workings inherent to embedding a browser and driving its display, and even worse, might actually mislead you into thinking that there are performance hotspots that are actually non-issues in the deployed browser environment.
That said, profiling server-side RPC services is a great idea and I would recommend profiling both through unit tests on the server-side and through web mode profiling by deploying the application and observing it's behaviour live. Hope that helps, -Sumit Chandel On Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 3:18 PM, Superman859 <russ.d.hollo...@gmail.com>wrote: > > I'm not sure why it is running slow either.
