Performance and Diagnostics Hub in Visual Studio 2013

This post introduces the Performance and Diagnostics hub in Visual Studio 2013 as a unified entry point for profiling tools, replacing disparate menu options. It highlights new tools like XAML UI Responsiveness and Energy Consumption, and improved tools like CPU Usage and Memory Usage. The hub dynamically displays relevant tools based on the selected profiling target (Startup Project, Running App, Installed App, IE on Windows Phone, Executable, ASP.NET). It also details the integration with F12 developer tools for exporting data.
