Good List of Performance Counters

Steve Tullis shared some performance counters that the perf team was using.  It's a pretty useful list.  The only other list I've seen like this in relation to SharePoint was listed in the IT performance whitepaper for 2003.  It includes some further data around a few of the perf counters. 

Replace the server name $fe1$ with your front end and $be1$ with the back end server name.
