How to Write Crap Code in C# - Anti-Patterns for Performance

How to Write Crap Code in C# - Anti-Patterns for Performance
Most developers want the best possible performance from their code. Inspired by the idea of "proof by contradiction" this talk looks at how to write slow code and how the .NET platform, Windows and the processor will try and sabotage your efforts. A variety of techniques for inefficient coding will be covered including:

* Flow control with Exceptions
* Abusing Threads
* Misuse of the Heap

It's one man against some of the brightest minds in Redmond, seeking an answer to the question "How Slow Can It Go?"
