Recently, I came across 5.2 Performance and Resource Management issue. This is problem because you do not really get whole lots of direction as to what is wrong with your application. So here is basic tips to troubleshoot this issue very quickly.
1) Check your tombstoning and make sure it is quick and you are not saving large data back and forth into the isolated storage
2) MAKE SURE you dispose everything specially any type of streams. This was in fact one of my issue with one of the my app. Below is the sample code that fixed my app issue.
Problem Code:
public void PlaySound(string sound)
{
using (Stream stream = TitleContainer.OpenStream(sound))
{
AnimalSoundEffect = SoundEffect.FromStream(stream);
FrameworkDispatcher.Update();
AnimalSoundEffect.Play();
}
}
Fix Code:
public void PlaySound(string sound)
{
Stream stream = null;
try
{
stream = TitleContainer.OpenStream(sound);
AnimalSoundEffect = SoundEffect.FromStream(stream);
FrameworkDispatcher.Update();
AnimalSoundEffect.Play();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
LogDto logDto = new LogDto();
logDto.Message = ex.Message;
logDto.Title = “Sound Failure”;
ToeTapzServiceViewModel.Instance.LogException
(Settings.Instance.CurrentTrackingAppId, “Pull And Speak” , logDto);
}
finally
{
// Make sure to Dispose this stream or the garbage collector
// takes FOREVER to kill it and the app loads REALLY slow on the next launch
if (stream != null)
{
stream.Dispose();
}
}
}
Notice the problem code above. I do infact disposes my stream using “Using” but that in fact did not work for me so I had to result to good old fasion style using finally to dispose. There must be delay how “Using” disposes resources vs. actually calling Dispose method directly.
