Very annoying! Half my disks are showing up as CRITICAL too :) I did post a bug about this, but not sure what happened to it. It's early days yet for performance data, I am sure everything will fall into place over next few months. I might even find time to add range support to PerfParse if it's important. But please don't hold your breath!
