    Depends on few things but one aims as close to 100% as possible. If it drops below 90-95%, it normally is a sign of memory pressure.

    No changes that I know of from the previous version, not understanding the question as the values are buffer hit ratios in percentage, cannot see how that would change.

  • That counter has has no value at all.

    You can have a server under severe memory pressure with that counter still sitting 99%. Ignore it, use other, more useful, counters.
