## AI overview

A Visual Studio profiling walkthrough for finding hidden latency in a distributed .NET application by isolating the process responsible for a slow interaction and determining whether it is computing or waiting.

## Source excerpt

When a distributed application feels slow, the user sees one delay. The code behind that delay may run across a web frontend, backend services, databases, and external APIs. If you profile only the frontend while the backend is slow, the profiler can show that the frontend is healthy without revealing the actual bottleneck.
