As with all performance monitoring tools, expect some performance overhead when monitoring SQL Server with Windows NT Performance Monitor. The actual overhead in any specific instance will depend on the hardware platform, the number of counters, and the selected update interval. However, the integration of Windows NT Performance Monitor with SQL Server is designed to minimize the impact.
