PerformanceCounter - Speed Issues

Question

Hey all!

 

I need to read a total of 5 servers and 5 stats from each server, so in my calculations I need to create 25 PerformanceCounters. Now it takes about 2 minutes per counter to load when retrieving from remote servers. Does anyone know a better way of doing this?

 

Cheers,

Answer 1

Is there a way of collecting loads of information from the server using the counter in one go so i only have to use 1 counter? EG. Pull off the:

RAM

CPU

NETWORK

 

then return it in one go instead of creating a new PerformanceCounter each time? Because that is seriously slow.
