SharePoint Developer Dashboard

Developer Dashboard is a great feature on SharePoint 2010. This feature is disabled by default. And it provides performance and tracing information that can be used to debug and troubleshoot page rendering time issues. (slow page loads, web part issues, query delays) .Enabling this great feature will get critical information about execution time, log correlation ID, critical events, database queries, service calls, SPRequests allocation and webpart events offsets.

The Developer Dashboard feature is turned off by default, but it can be enabled very easy via stsadm or PowerShell.
