Hi,

I was wondering what would be the proper way to debug ASP.NET
application and see why it performs so slow sometimes on production
server. What we see is process w3wp.exe consuming CPU alot and also
consimung alot od memory. Is there a way for me to see what is
happening inside this process? Which module exactly is causing this CPU
comsumption?

Download the Process Explorer utility from www.sysinternals.com . It
can give you many details about processes beyond what is provided by
Task Manager. You will be able to see some .Net performance metrics for
the w3wp process. You can also see which threads in a process are
consuming CPU time and their call stacks. If this does not help, it
*might* be a good idea to install the debugger tools for windows, but
this is not advisable to do on a production box.
