87 +    <para>
88 +      When the <option>-c</option> option is used saidar uses colours
89 +      to display the data. Each area has a different colour to
90 +      distinguish it from the nearby fields. Bold and reverse video
91 +      effects are used to emphasis fields where necessary.
92 +    </para>
93 +    <para>
94 +      The load average figures are displayed in bold when they're
95 +      notably (greater that 1) different to each other. This purely
96 +      shows that a change in the load is occuring.
97 +    </para>
98 +    <para>
99 +      When CPU usage goes over 60% it will be displayed in bold.
100 +      At 90% the field is displayed using reverse video. Likewise
101 +      for memory, swap and disk usage at 75% and 90%. Zombie
102 +      processes are also highlighted.
103 +    </para>
104 +    <para>
105 +      Other values (paging, disk I/O and network I/O) are not
106 +      highlighted due to the nature of the values; it's not easy
107 +      to determine what thresholds are significant.
