This just means that when shark sampled your process, that thread was
blocked (not running) waiting for an event.

Hello all ...
I've a question -- under Darwin, is select() used to determine
which threads are ready to run? Shark is reporting that our app
spends most of its' time in select(), but the callstack that
represents the majority of select() calls isn't our select() loop,
it's something else:
ml_set_interrupts_enabled
thread_block_reason
thread_block
uiomove
selprocess
select
... which makes me think that the kernel is using select() to
determine when threads are ready. This makes some sense, as our
app is very multithreaded. If this is the case, how can I get our
(possibly too) multithreaded app to be kinder to the CPU under OSX?
