How can I get Visual Studio to help me optimize my application, or tell me areas of slowness? Thanks
A:
If you have the super enterprise edition it's built in (but I haven't used it - and I think it's ability to profile unmanaged code is limited)

As another suggestion, I have found the AMD CodeAnalyst a great companion. It integrates with VS2010 very well, and provides detailed breakdown of CPU time on a line-to-line basis. You can zoom in and out to see from a top-level to a function-level. Not to mention it even has in-line disassembly display if you need that extra bit of information!
Totally worth a try.
