Microsoft PerfView 1.4.1.0 Available for Download

Microsoft has released the PerfView 1.4.1.0. This update adds more /StopOn* options for stopping the circular buffer when paritcular events happen. This update also adds support for events logged with WPP Software Tracing (place TMF files in an TMF directory).

Overview
PerfView is a performance analysis tool focusing on ETW information (ETL files) as well as CLR memory information (heap dumps). This tool helps to isolate CPU and memory related performance issues.

PerfView can collect and view ETL files as well as XPERF CSV files. Powerful grouping operators allow you to understand performance profiles in ways other tools can't. PerfView is used internally at Microsoft by a number of teams and is the primary performance investigation tool on the .NET Runtime team.
