title: YourKit in Production
body: <p>I have recently downloaded a trial version of YourKit and after playing with it for a while it looks great, but I am concerned about running it in the production environment. Previous profilers I have used have put unacceptable overhead on the servers.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know the typical overhead of the YourKit software? Or has anyone had any problems running YourKit in a production environment?</p>
  
  <p>I am running YourKit for Java. The server I am profiling is RedHat running JBoss 4.</p>
