Could you bottom post please - helps people read the flow of the
conversation.

Yeah, with the normal state of the code, I've just added a Memory Usage
Monitor which clearly updates much more slowly than the Network Usage
Monitors on the same view.

Atm I'm just thinking whether to accept the patch or not, rather than to
make anything generic - hence getting an idea of user sentiment here.
Considering how long it took me to 'get' what the patch does, making a
generic solution might be too much for me...
