Web page execution VERY slow

joelycat

I'm evaluating ANTS profiler 3. When I'm doing Memory Profiling my web pages run extremely slowly. I understand that ANTS is doing a lot of work behind the scenes but I'm evaluating some other profilers and they don't impact nearly as much. Are there any configuration options that might help? I like the product but stepping through my web app and profiling each page is excrutiating.

Hi,

my only suggestion would be to either try the Fast Mode (which won't have line level timings).

Alternatively you can try out the most recent early access build of Version 4 of the Profiler, the overhead of which has been significantly reduced and you should notice a difference.

You can get it from here:
ANTS 4 (EAP)

Thanks but I'm doing memory profiling and I think the "fast" option is only availaible in perf profiling. I'll check out the Version 4 beta and see if it helps.

Ah, I didn't know you were just memory profiling.

I'm afraid that V4 only includes the performance profiler at this point.

We are starting on a new version of the memory profiler which will aim to reduce the overhead but this won't be available in the short term.
