Sharepoint + ANTS

We use sharepoint to drive http://www.starz.com

Lately, with increased traffic, we've been seeing many issues with our app pools growing into the 6GB range! This needs serious attention, and we have to run a memory profiler against our production farm to figure out what's going on. Needless to say, doing a memory profile using the standard .net tools is pretty hard and requires an extensive amount of knowledge and time.

Along comes ANTS - and this great post:

So now the real question is how much better is the site going to be - the analysis will give us the clues. Wish me luck!
