+       The <dfn>Performance Meters</dfn> window provides low-level metering
+       of the digital signal processing taking place inside Ardour.
+       One of the scenarios where this is useful is when you need to determine
+       whether Ardour is in charge for excessive xruns.

+       This window displays worst case scenario measurements that do not necessarily match the DSP meter in the top right corner of the window. To see average
+       and standard deviation values, hover either the Engine or the Session values
+       with the mouse pointer to see the tooltip.
