How Do I: Get Started with xPerf and xPerfview to Analyze Server Performance?

Eat up….been working with Kenneth today on some performance items and I found some good information I thought I would pass along.

With Windows 2008 and 2008 R2 there are lots more tools for diagnosing performance issues, if you’re not on 2008 what are you doing!!!! Jk, you can use SPA v2 on those boxes.

Check out xperf and this video…also check out the article on interpreting CPU utilization.
