Performance Monitor will now display instances named in 16-bit per byte Unicode characters, including Kanji.
Warning Enabling Performance Monitor to read Unicode characters increases its overhead by approximately 0.65% on an Intel 486 processor.
To measure the overhead on your computer, log Process: %Processor Time for Perfmon.exe process for 3 minutes, then change the Registry to enable Unicode process names, repeat the test, and compare the results.
To enable Performance Monitor to read Unicode characters, edit the Registry by using a Registry Editor, such as Regedt32.exe. Add the CollectUnicodeProcessNames value entry, then set it to 1. Restart the computer to make it effective.
