I want to include some sort of performance counts in my application. Are Windows Performance counters (Perfmon) counters the best way to go. I am just worried that maybe it is too much overhead for what am I wanting which is just a simple average per second count. Is it better to just roll my own?
Yes, Perfmon works quite well.
To minimize any overhead, run Perfmon on a remote machine.
I’ve used Perfmon to collect serious, in-depth, and valuable performance data on a BizTalk server from a development machine on the same network and every part of the process worked very well. I wouldn’t even consider any other method of collecting the same kind of performance data without very strong evidence.
