Profiler becomes unresponsive while viewing results

[tillig]

Running ANTS Performance Profiler 5.2 on a dual-proc 2.8GHz machine, 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2, 4GB RAM.

I profiled an ASP.NET application and gathered six or seven counters along with it. I ran the profile for less than five minutes and ran the app with a single user load. I saved the profile data and it makes a 20MB file.

When I try to view the report the profiler UI process starts taking between 50% and 100% of the CPU and climbs up to take nearly 3GB RAM. It settles down a bit (50% CPU) and if I click something, it pegs the CPU and eats RAM again. I can click about three methods to view information on before the UI thread becomes entirely unresponsive and I have to manually kill the application.

I'm running the profiler and the application over terminal services since I don't have physical access to the machine, but it is a physical machine (not a VM).

Is this a known issue? Sort of makes the profiler unusable.

This is very uncommon so I'm thinking there is something very unusual with that specific file. Can you please send it over to support@red-gate.com?

I will send it over.
