Just in case anyone is still interested in this, here's a similar scenario... In one of my client's (particularly large) deployments, I got a 300ms improvement with essentially a one line code change, just changing this:
var myList = someWeb.Lists["ListName"];
to this:
var myList = someWeb.GetList("/serverRelative/ListUrl");

Would have never caught this without ANTS!

Ian,
Do you have any blog posts showing how this is a lot easier to setup and use. I would be interested in a comparison between the tools.

We've also used JetBrains Profiler, from the same makers as reshaper

Thanks Andrew, this is some really important tooling and you have also saved me a stack of time.

My experience with SharePoint tells me that the performance bottlenecks are not always in the place that intuition tells you it is. Being able to be objective about it is really important.

Finally, as you guys pointed out, be really great to see the effects of increasing data volumes on performance.

Thanks again,
Daniel

Jeremy,

Yes that is one of the things I was going to look at as examples of where the profiling can help improve performance. That and the 2000 items in a list magic number.

Great post Andrew, always wanted to get some time to have a look at this. You've made my life a lot easier by documenting the steps mate! Great work!
Be interested to throw some SPQuery vs enumerating list collections at it to to see how that reports it.
