General Performance: Comparing Methods for Retrieving Process File Path The excerpt from “Rock Your Code” explains two methods for retrieving the initiating file’s path in .NET.

Process startup path retrieval in .NET looks simple… until you see what it’s doing to your performance and memory.
One common approach is dramatically slower and even allocates over a kilobyte per call. That’s a silent performance killer.
