Hi Carl,
Thanks for the reply.
I had found a number of wikipedia articles about kernels, but none of
them really gave me the 'short attention span' answer I was looking for.

Kernel CPU time, in simple terms, is operating system overhead. Ideally you
want to see the red line much lower than the green line. But sometimes,
higher levels of red line are unavoidable. The undesirable condition would
be the red line at a high level continuously.
You can usually find answers to basic questions with Google and Wikipedia.
If you're up for it, a discussion of what an operating system kernel is and
does is here:

Does anyone where use this utility?
It's a marvellous program, but I was hoping someone could help me out
with a basic question.
On CPU percentage graphs I often see an area shaded in red underneath
the usual green. I think it represents kernel cpu time, but can someone
please tell me what this actually means (if it's the case...)
Thanks,
Rob
