Hi,



We have a timing problem with part of our app that does serial IO to industrial devices and, to help track this down, we have purchased RedGate's ANTS profiler (after seeing good comments about the product on this forum). Anyway, ANTS is proving to be very useful and I have just used to have a look at general slugishness when starting our menu. ANTS reports that our app spends about 24 seconds in StrataFrameApplication.RunApplication() on a reasonably powerfull quad core Intel box when nothing else is running. We use SQL Server 2008, VS 2008, Vb.Net and DevExpress (latest version) and the last release of StrataFrame. Our menus use the DexExpress Nav Bar control.



Does the 24 seconds seem like a reasonable elapsed time. I don't want to go chasing after performance increases if this is about what can be expected. If the time is excessive do you have any suggestions where we should be looking?



Cheers, Peter

Hi Peter.

Have you tried running ANTS on a sample application without any third party component just to make sure?

Hi George,



Hmmm, no I haven't - thanks for the thought.



Cheers, Peter
