UNBELIEVABLE. > Why can't we all just get along? :-) To respond to the first statement.... in many shops that is not true at all. Here (and also in other large environments I have worked at) the performance team is actively involved in helping applications tune, but it is at their request because the "techies" have more experience with tuning and some of the tools. That is their primary job. The application programmers' primary job is to write code (under a deadline usually) and performance / efficient code is not always given the attention it needs for production. And that other pet peeve about not letting applications use the tools... well, in my experience the application people are the main users of products like Strobe, Expedite, etc. Those are their tools (even though "we" install them). Many of them I don't really have a clue how to use beyond the very basics if at all.
