How do I profile XAML performance?

Question

I'm getting deeper into xaml (WPF in my case), and really enjoying it.

However, I'd quite like to understand now (before it's too late) how to profile the performance of xaml. Are there any tools out there to do it, or is it a case of just learning it well and spotting potential performance problems by reading the code?

I've used various code profilers in the past, but don't recall one that can help profile a declarative language such as xaml.

I'm using the Performance Explorer tool in VS2010 to check performances of my WPF solutions.
