+# Performance analysis
+
+Build and use the release configuration of the project so you're measuring real perf with optimizations turned on:
+
+    dotnet build -c release  .\sandbox\PerfNetFramework\
+
+Use [PerfView](https://github.com/Microsoft/perfview/blob/master/documentation/Downloading.md) to analyze performance
+to look for opportunities to improve.
+When collecting ETL traces, use these settings in the Collect->Run dialog:
+
+| Setting     | Value |
+|-------------|-------|
+| Command     | `dotnet run -c release -p .\sandbox\PerfNetFramework\ -f net461 --no-build`
+| Current Dir | `d:\git\messagepack-csharp` (or wherever your enlistment is)
+| Additional Providers | `*MessagePack-Benchmark`
+| No V3.X NGen | Checked
+
+Start your investigation using the Events window to find the scenario that you're interested in,
+with these settings:
+
+| Setting    | Value |
+|------------|-------|
+| Filter     | `MessagePack`
+| Columns to display | `count DURATION_MSEC impl`
+
+Select the two `Time MSec` values that bound the scenario you're interested in, right-click and select CPU Stacks.
