title: Free Tools and ways for profiling ASP.NET MVC Web Server performance?
body: <p>We ran Jmeter on our application and found that our web server was running relatively slow. I have asked this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4269955/best-practices-and-tools-for-improving-web-servers-performance-in-asp-net-mvc">before</a> but I was hoping to find some free tools can I use to profile it and identify bottlnecks ?</p>
  
  <p>Also do I need to look at memory profiling on the server? What are the best steps I can take towards optimizing the web server performance ? Basically I am trying to optimize the web server to the fullest so just wanted to know all the steps can be taken to do it. </p>
  
  <p>So,if anyone can list all the steps or optimizations than can be done on web server when using <code>asp.net mvc 2.0</code>, <code>IIS 7.0</code> and <code>SQL Server 2005</code>.Thanks for all your help.</p>
