You wrote "The goal of the PmcTools project is to provide FreeBSD's developers and system administrators with non-intrusive, low-overhead and innovative ways of measuring and analysing system performance" your website. Have you ever measured the performance impact of such tools? I'm interested to run such tool on production machines in the future but only if the performance impact isn't that high.
