What are those red dots?

[Jhingha]

So, a friend of mine showed me this activity monitor log thingy where u could see what was going on in your machine.

But he really couldn't tell me what those red dots are

Green is activity,
Black is no activity
Red is panic?

To find this on your own mac, go to activity and press the CPU tab, now dubble click the dots that show up.

Oh and btw, im using hardbreak right now converting a MKV to M4V so thats why they are all full.

Green - CPU used by user-space code
Red - CPU used by system-space code

CPU used by system-space code = totally panic.
