Re: don't know how to get started

Of these options, i've found VTune to be incredable, but it has a very steep
learning curve. AQTime is really good, and not all that conplicated, and
ANTS is fairly good and easy to learn. I've tried using DevPartner several
times and i just dont like it.

best best in my opinion is to try ANTS or AQTime with their month free trial
