Good to know before starting to troubleshoot performance issues on SharePoint 2003
Before starting implementing performance counters, be sure you are not using one of the following options:
– /3GB switch – is not supported http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933560
Reducing the size of the kernel mode memory buffers when in /3GB mode causes unacceptable
performance in Windows SharePoint Services file-transfer operations.
– Web gardens – http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822171/ IIS 6.0 Session State May Be Lost If You Use Web Gardens with ASP Applications
– Priority Boost on SQL server – http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319942 How to determine proper SQL Server configuration settings
By default, the priority boost setting is 0, which causes SQL Server to run at a normal priority whether you run SQL Server on a uniprocessor computer or on a symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) computer. If you set priority boost to 1, the SQL Server process runs at a high priority
Once you have removed all those options you can start implementing performance counters and start analyzing them.

Troubleshooting Performance issues SharePoint 2010
The scope of this post is to help you to identify the root cause of a SharePoint performance issue.
We will implement collect performance counters, IIS logs and Failed Request Tracing from all the servers in the farm (SharePoint and SQL servers).
A. Performance Counters
Server type: Web Front End/Query
1. You need to allow Process ID value to be included as part of the process monitor data that is recorded. You can follow the steps from this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281884 The Process object in Performance Monitor can display Process IDs (PIDs)
2. Counters list that need to be implemented and collected on all the WFE servers
