svc.DeveloperDashboardSettings.DisplayLevel = 
    SPDeveloperDashboardLevel.Off;

SPMonitoredScope to track performance in your applications:-
 using (new SPMonitoredScope("Monitoring")) 
{ 
    Controls.Add(new Literal { Text = "When the awesomeness is flying... " }); 
                
    using (new SPMonitoredScope("Sub-Monitoring")) 
    { 
        Controls.Add(new Literal { Text = "Hello this is --Sub-Monitoring! " }); 

        using (new SPMonitoredScope("Sub-Sub-Monitoring")) 
        { 
            Controls.Add(new Literal { Text = "<br/>Hello this is Sub-Sub-Monitoring!" }); 
        } 

        using (new SPMonitoredScope("Sub-Sub-Monitoring_1")) 
        { 
            Controls.Add(new Literal { Text = "Hello this is Sub-Sub-Monitoring_1" });
