Cracked brake pad?

Cracked brake pad?
Porterfield R4 - I was just checking them out to see what I needed to order and while they have plenty of pad material left, this doesn't look good at all:
Thoughts? Are they trashed? This disappoints me because I liked these pads otherwise and they've got a fair amount of material left.. Sucks to have to chuck em after only a few lapping days because the are fairly pricey. This is not what I expected with a race pad when using street tires with stock power.

+1 on running with my pads looking about like that too
and +1 those pads are pretty well done anyway, are you using them as a street pad as well? In my experience race pads wear very quickly cold, but every pad compound is different, my carbotechs last forever, but hey, mine never ever see the street.
