Hmm. Tools? Sure, your own eyes. Have a peek in "System Performance Tuning".
Amazon.com, $25,=.
Old as it is, it will teach you how to watch a BSD system, and how to
interpret the output of top and vmstat and friends, down to the HDD led
that's on the front of your box. IIRC, the examples assume SunOS 4 or VAX.
Fact is that it gives you a fundamental understanding of measuring
performance of BSD systems. It covers CPU, memory, disk and network
performance each in their own section. I found that I could use the book
even for Windows machines.
