DevPartner Profiler - This is a great tool, but...

[cow3]

I have been guided to this great tool for performance analysis (many
thanks to January):

http://www.compuware.com/products/de...03umrS=3019X36

I have installed and run it and immediately noticed its extreme
usefulness and couldn't believe it's free. To figure out what causes
my problem - performance degradation over time - I looked at the
performance analysis report. From the report, I noted 95.7 % of the
time is used in 'the system and other dlls' as the following:

KERNEL32.DLL
Number of Called Methods: 178
Percent of Time Spent in Image: 51.1 (mostly, Sleep and
WaitForSingleObject)

Microsoft.VisualBasic
Number of Called Methods: 105
Percent of Time Spent in Image: 30.0 (mostly,
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Collection.GetEnumerator)

mscorlib
Number of Called Methods: 985
Percent of Time Spent in Image: 12.4 (mostly, System.Array.Copy and
System.Collections.Hashtable.*)

Being a beginner in VB >and< .NET, I am not familiar with the above.
Could somebody give me some tips about what to do?

Thanks,

Chris
