Objects Object
The Objects performance object consists of counters that monitor logical
objects in the system, such as processes, threads, mutexes, and semaphores. This
information can be used to detect the unnecessary consumption of computer
resources. Each object requires memory to store basic information about the object.
Processes
Processes is the number of processes in the computer at the time of data
collection. Notice that this is an instantaneous count, not an average over the time
interval. Each process represents the running of a program.
Detail Level: Novice
Counter Type: PERF_COUNTER_RAWCOUNT
Threads
Threads is the number of threads in the computer at the time of data
collection. Notice that this is an instantaneous count, not an average over the time
interval. A thread is the basic executable entity that can execute instructions in
a processor.

Counter Type: PERF_COUNTER_RAWCOUNT
Events
Events is the number of events in the computer at the time of data collection.
Notice that this is an instantaneous count, not an average over the time
interval. An event is used when two or more threads wish to synchronize execution.

Counter Type: PERF_COUNTER_RAWCOUNT
Semaphores
Semaphores is the number of semaphores in the computer at the time of data
collection. Notice that this is an instantaneous count, not an average over the
time interval. Threads use semaphores to obtain exclusive access to data
structures that they share with other threads.

Counter Type: PERF_COUNTER_RAWCOUNT
Mutexes
Mutexes counts the number of mutexes in the computer at the time of data
collection. This is an instantaneous count, not an average over the time interval.
Mutexes are used by threads to assure only one thread is executing some section
of code.

Counter Type: PERF_COUNTER_RAWCOUNT
Sections
Sections is the number of sections in the computer at the time of data
collection. Notice that this is an instantaneous count, not an average over the time
interval. A section is a portion of virtual memory created by a process for a
storing data. A process might share sections with other processes.
