That's exactly the approach I intend to take in the short run. In the longer run I'll spend some time thinking about the "generic" solution and see where it leads. Another thought that crossed my mind is that this *specific* counter might be part of Richard Gooch's performance counters (I haven't looked into these counters yet, so consider it an off-hand remark).
