Scott Drummonds created the following post on the vmware communities:
They are busy too ! :)
My colleague in product management, Praveen Kannan, has been working to extend Perfmon to show some ESX performance counters. This capability is automatically installed with VMware Tools on vSphere 4. But Praveen and I have made a stand-alone version available to those of you that are still on VI3. Download it here to give it a try.
To install, place the file in an appropriately-named directory on any Windows VM on VI3. Double-click the executable, which will self-extract the files into the same directory. Run "install.bat" and you're done.
Once you bring up Perfmon you'll see two new performance objects on your computer: "VM Memory" and "VM Processor". These objects contain counters exposed by ESX that accurately reflect the VM's memory and CPU usage. Here's Perfmon on my test VM after I've installed the tool.
Disclaimer:
This is a pre-release "sneak peak" version. Eventually this tool will be available for download on vmware.com and supported by VMware. But today there is no support for this tool and you're using it "as-is". Use at your own risk and do not contact VMware support for help with this release.

WMI ADAP was unable to load the ASP.NET performance library because it returned invalid data: 0x0
I was getting a error/warning in my eventviewer.
WMI ADAP was unable to load the ASP.NET performance library because it returned invalid data: 0x0
Resolve this by:
To prevent the performance counter library (Perflib) from checking counters, you can disable the Extensible Performance Counters library or remove it. Use one of the following methods to do this:• To use the Extensible Counter tool (ExCtrlLst.exe) to disable the Perfctrs.dll performance counters, follow these steps:1. Start the Exctrlst.exe tool. This tool is in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit.
2. Select the DLL (Perfctrs.dll) that did not open in the Extensible Performance Counters list box.
3. Click to clear the Performance Counters Enabled check box.
4. Restart the computer.
