Chris,

Measuring performance of CF apps can be done by instrumenting your code or
by enabling a performance monitor on device much like the PC perfmon.

To do this:

Create an
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\PerfMonitorregistry
key on the device. Under this key, a value called Counters must be created of
type DWORD. To toggle statistics gathering, the value should be set to 1 (on)
or 0 (off).

After enabling statistics, you can run a managed program, terminate the
process, and a report will be generated in a file named Mscoree.stat, located
in the root directory on the device.

Chris,

Two other things to look at:

LScript - a tool posted on the Microsoft site to capture and replay
functional testing scripts on device

Hopper - a stress testing tool, also posted on the MS site, that creates
random taps on the emulator to test application response
