This is my 2cent.

        context.AcquireRequestState += (sender, e) =>
        {
            // Check debug in session. Can be set from Querystring. (?debug=true)
            if (HttpContext.Current.Session != null && HttpContext.Current.Session["Debug"] != null)
            {
                try{
                    bool debug = (bool)HttpContext.Current.Session["Debug"];
                    if (debug == true) 
                        MiniProfiler.Start();
                    else 
                        MiniProfiler.Stop(discardResults: true);
                }
                catch{ 
                    MiniProfiler.Stop(discardResults: true);
                }

            }// Or always show if Administrator.
            else if (HttpContext.Current.User != null && HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
            {
                bool admin = HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Administrator");
                if (admin == false)
                {
                    MiniProfiler.Stop(discardResults: true);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                MiniProfiler.Stop(discardResults: true);
            }
        };
