Performance Analyzer for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

Even if you aren't currently experiencing performance issues with your WSS environment, it's always a good idea to take a step back and inspect your environment and WSS setup to look for areas of improvement and potential points where there may be trouble down the road.  But where do you start?  There's a lot to look at... so why not let a tool make recommendations for you based upon Microsoft's best practices.

Microsoft actually provides such a tool.
