Importance of UI in performance Simple UI tricks, such as progress bars, redirecting user's attention using animation, or placing slower loading sections at the bottom of a page or off-screen, can often ‘fix’ a performance problem without the need to tune the underlying code. These UI tricks are an important tool to have in your performance tuning toolbox and can be much quicker and easier than addressing the underlying issue. They can act as a holdover until you have the time to devote to the core problem. So, one should never underestimate the UI while tackling performance issues. Isn't it interesting :)

Memory leaks in .Net applications are always proven to be the nightmare for developers. Many times we get “OutOfMemoryException”, which is nothing but due to memory leak only. There are many reasons, which lead to memory leak situation. For example, sometimes we forget to release unmanaged resources, dispose heavy objects (i.e., drawing objects), even holding reference of managed objects, longer than necessary can also lead to memory leaks. So, if the application is small, one can analyze the code and figure it out, which object is causing memory leak. But when it comes to a large application, it is not at all possible to figure out manually. In that case, we need some tool, which can help us to figure out the area or object, which is causing memory leak. So, today I surf internet and came up with a tool called .Net Memory Profiler, which can do analysis for us and give us the statistics of all the instances. Ok, instead of getting more into theory, let’s jump quickly to the...

Many people use clock speed as a measure of a computer’s total computing power, but that term can be very misleading for a couple of reasons. The computer keeps all its devices synchronized by using its clock. This isn’t a regular clock—it’s a “clock in a chip,” which keeps highly accurate time and ticks much more rapidly than a wall clock. The faster the computer’s clock ticks, the more quickly the device can move on to a new task. The central processing unit  needs a certain number of clock ticks to  execute each of its instructions. Therefore, the faster the clock ticks (that is, the “clock speed”), the more instructions the CPU can execute per second.  However, that’s not the end of the story. Different processors use different instruction sets, each of which can require a different number of ticks. That means different kinds of processors may execute different numbers of instructions per second, even if they have the same clock s...
