DMVStats (A SQL Server 2005 Dynamic Management View Performance Data Warehouse ) Has Been Released

Over the last year, Tom Davidson has been working on a tool called DMVstats with some of his CAT colleagues. DMVstats collects performance oriented DMVs into a data warehouse, and provides a methodology called 'Waits' and 'Queues' to identify and track down performance issues. Drill-through analysis is provided by reporting services reports.
