How can I profile an ASP.NET MVC View?

Question

I'm trying to improve the performance of an ASP.NET MVC app. Pages take about 700 msec to display, and I know that my controller takes about 200 msec. This means the View is taking 500 msec. How can I profile a View?

I don't know regular ASP.NET -- perhaps there are standard things everyone else is aware of?

My View iterates over my Model and displays a table of about 25 rows. I'm surprised it takes 500 msec.

If you are using the default view engine ( the web forms view engine ), you may be able to use the standard asp.net tracing to see what is happening in the page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y13fw6we%28VS.85%29.aspx.
