Inside Visual Studio Performance and PerfWatson with Phil Price

Summary

This Hanselminutes episode discusses Visual Studio performance issues, specifically when the IDE becomes unresponsive, referred to as "going to Cleveland." The key subject is PerfWatson, a telemetry system designed to detect and report these unresponsiveness events by monitoring the UI thread. The practical takeaway is that PerfWatson helps identify performance bottlenecks, such as file I/O or large operations on the UI thread, enabling developers to improve Visual Studio's responsiveness.
