PerformanceCounterCategory.Create() takes 3 minutes to add a new category!!

PerformanceCounterCategory.Create() takes 3 minutes to add a new category!!

If I run PerformanceCounterCategory.Create() on my development machine it
only takes a
few seconds. But on remotely monitored machines it takes 3 minutes! Is this
because the
other machines are remotely monitored? Something else?

What all can make PerformanceCounterCategory.Create() take 3 minutes to add
a new category??

Odd, the documentation states "First, you cannot create custom categories and
counters on remote computers." [1]

I am not creatign them on remote computers. I am creating them localy, but
it takes 3 minutes! i am asking what could cause this? perhaps if the
perfmon is being remotely viewed could this be causing this?

Ah, okay. If something's heavily using performance counters, yes, it may
affect how long it takes to create a custom category.
