Profiling WPF application

I have a WPF application, that is sometimes freezing for maybe a half minute and then works fine. I am thinking to profile that application. Anybody knows a good tutorial of how to profile WPF application? Or anybody has any idea on finding a way to know when it is freezing? The freezing is not consistent, and not related to any usage pattern

Thanks for help.

Profiling is overkill. During that half minute, it's waiting for something. Just pause it and see what it's waiting for.

There is a toolset in the Windows SDK called WPFPerf - it has a set of tools (like Perforator) that help specifically with WPF debugging and profiling. Here's a quick guide on these tools.

For general .net profiling, RedGate Ants or JetBrains' dotTrace are great. There is also some profiling included in Visual Studio 2005/2008 (and better ones in 2010?).
