I'm trying to use perfmon to monitor some servers, but adding counters is excruciatingly slow. Each click freezes the window for tens of seconds. How can I speed this up?

Consider learning how to use powershell to automate performance counter work:

You can use the Get-Counter -ListSet * -ComputerName MyRemoteComputer
to list out all the counters on a remote computer. From there you can use Get-Counter
to collect counter data remotely, and the Export-Counter
cmdlet to export to log files suitable for review in perfmon.
