....I'm pretty sure you are completely right on this. Recently I copied a lot of stuff to a NAS samba share and sometimes the speed counter were updated. Currently I'm not sure about the internal logic of this display element. I'm not sure if I can make it work again cause my 'message skipping' logic is on a rather low level where I may not be able to selectively filter (or allow) them easily.
'Bytes per second' window no longer shows the graphical throughput rate

So I left the above section of your post purposely because I now wonder if perhaps the "...Skip sending lot of GUI (PM) messages..." is the root cause of this???
