I know about Redgate's Ants Profiler which I hear is awesome but it's also $400. Any cheaper alternatives out there that will at least point me to where I might need to optimize my code?
The C Profiler tool enables the collection and display of execution profile data on C software source code bases of arbitrary size. It is a member of SD's family of Profiler tools.
Performance profilers are software development tools designed to help you analyze the performance of your applications and improve poorly performing sections of code.
“Profiling” is a dynamic method of analyzing the complexity of a program, such as CPU utilization or the frequency and duration of function calls. With profiling, you can locate exactly which parts of your application are consuming the most resources.
EQATEC Profiler is free.
I haven't tried it myself, but it sounds ok and there are some positive testimonials on their site.
I'd be interested to hear the opinion of anyone who has actually used it.
Dottrace is about half the price of Ants, and it's really good. Made by the same people that do ReSharper.
If you're just looking for a one-off optimization of your code, then you should go for Ants anyway, since it has a full-featured 15-day free trial, which should be enough to get a lot of optimization done.
