I need to watch when certain processes are started or stopped on a Windows machine. I'm currently tapped into the WMI system and querying it every 5 seconds, but this causes a CPU spike every 5 seconds because WMI is WMI. Is there a better way of doing this?

I'm building a C# monitor app which uses WMI to grab some performance details of a remote computer. What are some good WMI queries to grab helpful stats such as CPU load, RAM usage, HDD free space, etc. For example, you can get the CPU load from the property "LoadPercentage" with the query "SELECT * FROM Win32_Processor". What are som...
