trace Slow DWM with xperf

Install the Windows Performance Toolkit (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4847.install-the-windows-performance-toolkit-wpt.aspx), open the command prompt with admin rights.

Now run this command to capture the slowness issue for 30s:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Windows Performance Toolkit\xperf.exe" -start PERFSCENARIOS!DWMProfile && timeout -1 && xperf -stop PERFSCENARIOS!DWMProfile C:\DWMTrace.etl

Now close DWM and do some operations which are now faster. Go to the cmd, press a key to stop the logging.

Compress the C:\DWMTrace.etl as 7z/RAR (to reduce the size), upload it (Onedrive, dropbox) and paste a link here.
