I'm inheriting a legacy project, and there's a page that calls a method that makes a web service call. Load and performance testing has detected that this page sometimes takes a really long time to close, but usually it's fine, and if there is one hanging, all other requests for that page hang until the first one resolves, and then they all resolve.
I think this might have something to do with the web service being instantiated and not disposed, but I don't know how I can be more sure. I tried to add a delegate to the Dispose method but that doesn't seem to ever fire. (I'm not sure it would without Dispose being called explicitly, but that doesn't really matter.)
So what can I look for on the production server or any deployed environment to watch those requests pile up and go out (or get handled in an orderly manner, if they aren't the problem)?
