title: Where to place AutoMapper.CreateMaps?
body: <p>I'm using <code>AutoMapper</code> in an <code>ASP.NET MVC</code> application. I was told that I should move the <code>AutoMapper.CreateMap</code> elsewhere as they have a lot of overhead. I'm not too sure how to design my application to put these calls in just 1 place.</p>
  
  <p>I have a web layer, service layer and a data layer. Each a project of its own. I use <code>Ninject</code> to DI everything. I'll utilize <code>AutoMapper</code> in both web and service layers. </p>
  
  <p>So what are your setup for <code>AutoMapper</code>'s CreateMap? Where do you put it? How do you call it?</p>
