A few days ago you said that xruns are caused by "short spikes" but that a short spike will only show up in the DSP reading if 3 conditions are met (one of which was that it would need to be > 95%).

What I'm saying is that the DSP reading (currently) isn't intended to display xruns.  It's only intended to give a general picture of CPU load.  If we want it to react to xruns (e.g. to turn red when an xrun occurs) we can achieve that very easily from within Ardour.  Modifying Jack (at least in the short term) shouldn't be necessary.
