SMC_NAME_DATA_CACHE_PREFETCH_EFFICIENCY

Description

Reports the ratio of pages in buffers that were both referenced and reused, relative to all pages in buffers in a given cache that were reused.

If the ratio is large, then prefetching is effective; otherwise, prefetching is not providing much benefit. This may suggest that a buffer pool should be eliminated (or it may imply that a clustered index on some table is fragmented, and that the index should be dropped and recreated).

NoteSMC_NAME_DATA_CACHE_PREFETCH_EFFICIENCY ignores buffers in the default buffer pool in each cache.
