I usually like/. articles, even the ones against MS, but I cannot just skip over this one: if the moderator read the article he would have noticed that the article was an advertisement for the profiler product, not just a review of it (it was written directly by Red Gate). Second, the article itself says that they found that the error was in how they coded the application, because they left some reference so the garbage collector didn't trow away the objects. This is a really bad article and bad information.
