    The concept of EIF is a great concept, and its ease of use is outstanding.
    However, I am concerned about its performance. Maybe I am doing someting
    very wrong, hopefully someone can help me out.

    I have an Nunit Test Class, a Business Facade Assembly, a Business Entities
    assembly, and a DAL assembly. All are running on the same thread, in the
    same context, on the same machine.

    My unit test creates 3 business entities, passes them to the facade, which
    validates them, and invokes the DAL to save the records to SQL Server.
    Since the unit test revolves around "Creating a New Reservation", I cannot
    think of a better place for Request Tracing. I added trace hooks into my
    facade. In my method, I have 1 line of code that looks like this:
    Dim src As EventSource = New RequestEventSource("New Reservation", "This
    event interacts with the facade and the DAL to create a new reservation")

    Which takes my execution time from 1.3 seconds to almost 7.3 seconds. I
    also have all tracing turned off in my configuration file.

    What could be causing this to execute so slowly? Is this simply to be
    expected?

    Any thoughts would be completely appreciated.
