You can add them dynamically at runtime? How do you know which counters are
available at a given time?

But if a user mode server can mantain performance statistics there, then
some performance monitoring tool would be able to query that counters and
allow some analysis. It can be done by other means, but I think it can be
usefull having it all together using a unique system call.
