title: What are some resources I can use to learn profiling/optimizing?
body: <p>I just inherited a C# project that runs way to slow and will have to start optimizing it. What I wanted to do first is learn a little more about profiling/optimizing since I didnt have to do it before. So the question is where do I start, what books/blogs/articels can I read?</p>
  
  <p>I do know OF the .net profilers like ANTS profiler and so on, but I have no idea how to use them efficiently. I have not really used it, just let it run on a few sample apps to play around with the output.</p>
