Section 6 of the Q3Test_Instructions_Readme.txt has a more
detailed description of this tool. Simply put the top graph
(blue/yellow): A vertical line is painted for every rendered
frame. if the line is blue and going down from the baseline that
indicates a steady transition of frames from one to the next. A
yellow line going up from the baseline means the frames are not
being fully rendered in time. The bottom graph
(green/yellow/red): A vertical line is painted for every
received snapshot. If the line is green it indicates properly
received snapshots, with the height of the bar proportional to
the ping. If the bar is yellow it indicates that the snapshot
was held back because it hit the rate limit. If the line is red
it means the snapshot was dropped by the network...Lots of thanx
