Performance profiling appears to have a high barrier to entry if you’ve never done it before. As part of some work for a client, I’ve been helping teach people how to profile code using JetBrains dotTrace.

JetBrains publish a wide variety of videos covering the use of their profiler, so I urge you to check them out if you’re interested in deep diving.
