I have this result from the profiler:

Just wondering what ‘Find: Detail’ represent? I was hoping to be able to drill down into it a bit. Does it represent the action method in the controller? Or is it MVC looking for the view html file on the file system?

Find: represents the amount of time it takes to locate the view. This is often **REALLY** slow in dev, in particular on the first hit. The reason for that is that it has to compile the view.

If you run MP in production you will notice this takes almost no time.
