HarryTri Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Or just run winsat. Oh, this doesn't give the WEI score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphelion Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hmm.. I'm coming up with all 0.0's. I thought I had disabled a GPO for "Enable PerfMon" but can't find it (to re-eanble) by filtering the policies or searching online. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 In services.msc, do you have the Performance Logs & Alerts Disabled? It's set to Manual (and currently running) here. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphelion Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Manual and running here also. I'm sure it was a GPO, I'll look deeper since the filter isn't catching it Edited November 30, 2014 by aphelion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 I know a lot of folks look to disable the counters to maximize system performance... Some time ago in developing Windows applications we instrumented our software quite heavily with performance monitoring and general logging. We created a special Beta configuration for building that would enable it, along with maximum optimization, while Release cut it all out. I found that lo and behold the macro performance of the fully instrumented build was virtually indistinguishable from that of the Release build. It was then I realized modern processors are so blasted fast that a few hundred thousand extra things to do doesn't even register as a blip on the radar. It's only when we turn things up so it logs hundreds of megabytes of messages that it becomes noticeable. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphelion Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) It was that plus the privacy. Things like steps recorder creep me out. Anyway I culdn't find it, but I did get it working using by restarting WinSAT and re-running the test.winsat formal -restartpowershell /c Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_WinSATThat way also gives a good look at the progress with about 3 pages of output. I'm all around 8.5 on a recent OC'ed Haswell re-build. Hardly accurate since I notice the speedup in daily use and it was something like 7.8-8 before, on Bloomfield, some 8 years old. I remember when a 2-gen upgrade would yield scores 3-4 points higher, so perhaps part of the reason it was removed was because it skews low. Edit: Re-running through perfmon after this shows the scores Edited November 30, 2014 by aphelion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 I don't think the scores are anywhere near a linear representative of actual performance as they get near the top. 3 year old Westmere Xeons... -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
