Disable Debug Trace Messages

  • Article

One simple change you can make to improve performance is to ensure that debug trace messages are disabled in your production system. Tracing can sometimes result in 10 to 15 percent degradation in throughput for some scenarios.

To disable debug trace messages

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.

  2. In the Run dialog box, in the Open box, type Regtrace.exe, and then click OK.

  3. In the Trace Settings dialog box, select the Traces tab, clear the check boxes for all levels of tracing, and then click OK.
