The problem though is that even the best optimizations from Microsoft are not good enough if your application suffers from poor architectural decisions or simply bad coding.<br><br>Listen to this podcast to learn about the top problems you may suffer in your .NET Application. We have many examples and we discuss how you can do a quick sanity check on your own code to detect bad database access patterns, memory leaks, thread contentions or simply bad code that results in high CPU, synchronization or even crashes!
