CheckPoint Pages/Sec counter

In EM, changed the checkpoint interval to 1. I monitored the CheckPoint
Pages/Sec counter and inserted 3000 records and waiting 10 minutes, I have
not seen any activity on this counter.
SQL 2000 SP4
Thanks,

I'm trying to solve a problem where during the CheckPoint Pages/Sec that SQL
initates, i see in the Profiler: EventClass- "Batch Completed" has long
Duration times and impacts customers, i.e., their data that is expected to be
retrieved in a timely fashion is many, many times longer. I'm trying to gain
control of the CheckPoint interval.
Note that the frequency of checkpoints in a database does not depend on any
time-based measure. Rather, it depends on the amount of data modifications
that have been made and SQL Server's estimate of how long it may take to
rollforward these changes. If in its estimate it would take the 'recovery
interval" number of minutes (when the recovery interval is not set to 0), it
issues a checkpoint.
So in your case, one potential explanation is that you have not made enough
changes for SQL Server to think it needs one minute to rollforward the
changes, thus no checkpoint is necessary.
