Processor Utilization
Over-committing CPU resources can adversely affect all the workloads on the same server, causing significant performance issues for a larger number of users. Because CPU resource use patterns can vary significantly, no single metric or unit can quantify total resource requirements. At the highest level, measurements can be taken to see how the processor is utilized within the entire system and whether threads are being delayed. The following table lists the performance counters for capturing the overall average processor utilization and the number of threads waiting in the processor Ready Queue over the measurement interval.
