Package: ethstatus
Version: 0.4.3
Severity: normal

I use 2.6.30.3 and ethstatus uses 30-35% of CPU, which is a lot.
I think even bigger issue is that ethstatus is updating the display 
very frequently, so I suspect there is way too much oversampling.
If one is running ethstatus locally then this is not a big deal, but if one is 
running on a remote machine, then it sudenly consumes 95KiB/s 
(near maximum bandwith at my place) and hence interferes too much with actual 
measurements and destroys its purpose :(
I also checked iptraf and it does NOT have such issues, the console bandwith 
is limited to 8-10KiB/s, however iptraf is only for super user.

Please consider adding some sleep (300ms or so) in between the measurements 
(and also display updates), human eye is not that fast anyway.
