The "(program)" is incredibly confusing for web developers, especially new ones. Just today, I had to tell a new web dev to ignore that, which caused much confusion. I came to realize even my understanding was incorrect. It appears that "(program)" is made up of several aspects, including idle time, native code, and globally executed JavaScript. In general, idle time isn't useful for debugging purposes. Likewise, native time isn't particularly useful without knowing how the JavaScript code is interacting with it. 

At the very least, separating these three out would give some clarity (though I would whole-heartedly love to eliminate idle and native code completely - just not useful enough).
