`1159`	`1159`	Use of the <xref:System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterCategory.Exists%2A> method can result in a noticeable performance penalty while all performance counters on the machine are checked for availability. If you are only writing to a performance counter, you can avoid the global search for performance counters by creating the performance counter when the application is installed and assuming the category exists when accessing the counter. There is no way to avoid the performance counter search when reading from performance counters.
