Despite what the wiki page says, it appears that performance counters 
are ENABLED during build by default:

https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/blob/c6e8dae799b7dc0fecff1081fdd9ef4e405bfde4/CMakeLists.txt#L168

So it is likely that your binaries have been built with them enabled, 
and that you just need to enable them at runtime through your 
configuration. I don't have any experience with that, unfortunately.

Cheers,
Ryan
