Remarks

WorkingSet64 and PrivateMemorySize64 look like field reads and are not. On Windows the first property access after Refresh() loads the system-wide process table, and the cost scales with how many processes the machine is running — measured here at 750–1700 ms on every snapshot, not just the first. That is 20x the profiler's own 50 ms budget, and it made per-frame or per-second sampling impossible. GetProcessMemoryInfo reads this process only: ~0.007 ms.

The counters are the same ones Process reports (verified against it), so snapshots stay comparable across the change.

Methods
