Solution 1

I suggest you go through An Introduction To Performance Counters[^] once to see if any of the counters mentioned there can help you out.

Good to know this stuff (my 5 for the answer), but using a profiler can be more effective.
Please see my answer.

Solution 2

To solve such performance problems you may need to use one of the tools called profilers.

Look this discussion: how high Speed Application?[^]. Pay attention for the list of profilers provided by Manfred R. Bihy.

Search by yourself: http://en.lmgtfy.com/?q=%22.net%22+profiler+free[^] or http://en.lmgtfy.com/?q=%22.net%22+profiler[^].

I was thinking about the CLR profiler as well - that is more for memory, but could show where a lot of memory is being used, indicating the bottleneck as well.
My 5.

You know, the primary goal of all profilers is speed, not memory :-)
