A total number of 79730 Perseids seen by 520 observers in 5061h observing time were available for a global activity analysis of the Perseids. The traditional maximum occurred over eastern Asian sites at lambda=140.03+-0.03 degrees (eq. 2000.0) with a maximum ZHR of 94+-2. The new filament, whih has been observed since 1988, showed its maximum at lambda=139.71+-0.01 degrees with a ZHR of 137+-5. A third distinct activity peak was monitored by European observers at lambda=140.35+-0.03 degrees reaching a ZHR of 68+-5. When the ZHR profile is converted into a meteoroid flux profile using the population index profile, two distinct maxima before and after the traditional maximum occur, having about the same strength of about 0.02 km^-2 h^-1. These maxima are rich in faint meteors.
