As long as there is no DMI alert, the overhead in terms of CPU is negligible. The memory footprint of the Agent is about 2.5 Mb, and the user interface when loaded will consume an additional 850 kb of memory. Thus the Agent does not consume much in terms of resources. When running DMI discovery from the TopTools Device Manager, the size of the network packets returned is 28 kb per PC. Regarding the WMI Agent, the figures would be slightly different, but in the same order of magnitude.
