Performance Tuning with Cheap Drink and Poor Tools
Performance tuning commonly described as a black art. But this description only works to point out a deficiency how performance is approached. In fact, performance is often approached in an ad-hoc fashion resulting in moments when "magic happens". During the session we will turn art into science by introducing a methodology that improve our ability to diagnose and repair performance bugs. The methodology will be introduced as we work to improve the performance of an application ways to improve the performance.
