title: What are some good techniques for performance testing SharePoint web parts and controls?
body: <p>This is a question about performance testing specific to SharePoint web parts and controls (although standard ASP.NET methods would be applicable as well). I'm wondering what are some good techniques, considering factors such as:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>caching (what and when should you cache?)</li>
  <li>load balanced servers (storing state)</li>
  <li>interaction with other parts of the page (e.g. multiple JavaScript execution)</li>
  <li>measuring CPU usage for a particular control</li>
  <li>rendered page size</li>
  </ul>
