That doesn't mean they aren't changing.  The location of the grid lines
for instance may be very important here...

Possible problems:
1) the data you're monitoring doesn't change
2) the images are updated yet you look at cached information
3) the resulting rate is above maxbytes and the previous rate
   is shown in stead
   (and yes, this is documented *and* desired behaviour)

Others: please extend this list.

Much of what looks like rudeness in hacker circles is not intended to give

communications style that is natural to people who are more concerned about
solving problems than making others feel warm and fuzzy.
