Hi

Thats sounds nice. You wrote "The goal of the PmcTools project is to
provide FreeBSD's developers and system administrators with
non-intrusive, low-overhead and innovative ways of measuring and
analysing system performance" your website. Have you ever measured the
performance impact of such tools?

I'm interested to run such tool on production machines in the future but
only if the performance impact isn't that high.


Hi
... even if the tool (whatever it is) does not require much system resources
it triggers processes in order to measure their or the system's performance.
So long as you do not push the system to or over the edge you might not get
valuable numbers. So I mean, any performance measuring does or must stress
the system. That is at least my understanding. So probably running
performance tests on a production server is not the very best idea.
