Hi Stephen,
It was just a thought. I've had this functionality in the past on a profiler I used and it turned out to be very useful (though their results display could have used more attention). They actually tracked a profiling sessions automatically which was nice, but once you had a good history of them, they made VS bog down unless you reduced the number of old sessions. They also only let you compare 2 sessions. I thought comparing more at 1 time would have been useful in some circumstances.
Their integration with VS was nice to a certain extent, but they lagged pretty badly when new versions of VS would arrive. It would take nearly a year later for updates to support the new environment. I like your external to VS approach better. Also doesn't get the overhead of VS involved. Besides with the new VS2010 coming out this fall and its new add-in model, I suspect this may be a big pain point for them and their integration to VS. You guys, on the other hand, I would think would have very few issues unless the PDB format has drastically changed. Have you guys been following the VS2010 development?
Feel free to drop me a line on this if you guys decide to add the comparison stuff and want my input.
Yes, I am pretty careful to make sure the conditions are as close to the same as possible when creating profiling sessions.
I recently added a 2nd monitor to my setup. Thank you for doing all the right things when saving window positions and such to support this properly (many apps don't). Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference.
Keep up the great work. Looking forward to AP5.

Hi Stephen,
I think the method grid would probably be the best place to start since it's the "simplest". Probably should be the main/only view for comparison, especially if the you allow comparisons of more than 2 sessions.
If the hit counts change, that could be very useful to compare. The big hurdle would be changes to the stack trace.
If the stack trace changed I might have a screen that is broken into thirds horizontally, showing methods in both sessions, added methods, removed methods. The columns would be made up of the hit count and method timing (one pair of columns for each session).
I suppose there could be a listbox on the left edge where I could drag & drop the sessions I want to compare into. Highlighting them would show the comparison. They should be automatically ordered by session date/time.
Export to Excel could also be handy in this view.
Hope this helps. / comments

This is running a webjob locally and not attaching to a process running in the cloud. dotTrace runs it fine, though their GUI is tough to interpret the results. / comments
