Organization of This Book
This book consists of twelve chapters and a bibliography.
Chapter 1 introduces a broad range of best practices in computer performance and capacity planning.
Chapter 2 describes the Windows 2000 performance monitoring API, which is the source of most of the performance data that is dealt with in subsequent chapters.

Chapter 4 is organized around a description of a programming optimization exercise that compares and contrasts several popular CPU usage code-profiling tools.
Chapter 5 discusses performance considerations when you are running Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter on machines with two or more processors.
Chapter 6 discusses Windows 2000 virtual memory management and describes the techniques Windows 2000 uses to manage RAM and the working sets of active application processes.

Chapter 8 introduces basic disk performance concepts.
Chapter 9 looks at filesystem performance.
Chapter 10 discusses the disk array technology used in most larger Windows 2000 servers. ...
