Summarizing the totals is like you might guess also done while rebuilding the displaysource. If all these conditions are met, a reference count cycle will keep the win2d control from ever being garbage collected. I am currently not good with background workers or threading with wpf. This monitor reports the time in hundredths of a second that a response waits in the response queue for a dispatcher process to route it, for the protocol with the longest average wait time. I was recommended to use a timer and the threadpool to minimize resources and improve the responsiveness of stopmonitoring this is the first time ive used the threadpool and timers in this way.

An extension method would be very nice, but wouldnt that mean i would first have to do a begininvoke on the dispatcher to be on the right thread and then set up the timer, which is a little more overhead than just having the timer.
