Just a FYI: On an Avid system, a similar colour scheme is used but it reports back AFTER you play a section of the sequence. Different colours for 'Stressed CPU - Almost dropping frames', 'Dropping frames due to complexity' (Media format and/or effects) and 'Dropping frames due to disk access problems'. At least we know where we are.
