Profiling Azure in the Compute Emulator

Question

I'm having an issue where when I stop my Azure project and at random other times, it starts consuming massive amounts of memory and eventually uses all available RAM.

I can't seem to figure out how to profile my project in the compute emulator. I know I can profile in the cloud, but this issue primarily occurs in the emulator. I am aware the emulator doesn't accurately model the cloud, etc. etc., but I still want to use the emulator and so I need my project to work in it without chewing up my memory.

Can anyone let me know how to profile while running in the emulator?

One option would be to use a different tool to profiler, for example, you could use the PerfView profiler that was just released: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vancem/archive/2011/12/28/publication-of-the-perfview-performance-analysis-tool.aspx
