the disposal of expensive SharePoint objects.• Use SharePoint Management Shell, rather than the standard Windows
PowerShell which is a multi-threaded.• Get-SPWebApplication | Get-SPSite –limit all | Foreach-Object { $._Url } –
Windows PowerShell• Start-SPAssignment –Global
$site = Get-SPSite "http://sp2013"Foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs) {Write-Host $web.Title}
Stop-SPAssignment –Global
