the graph makes it look like there's no network traffic, but there's lots

When this snapshot was taken, I was downloading a torrent.  I was downloading
100kb/s and uploading 80kb/s.  The graph says that the network is only 5% used.


This is because just before I took the snapshot I uploaded a big file to a
local shared drive at 5mb/s.  The graph has been scaled down as a result.

This scaling means that it's impossible to tell how busy the network is by
looking at the graph.

At the time of writing, the torrent is still downloading at the same rate, but
now the graph shows the network being 80% busy.  It seems that the autoscaler
has 'forgotten' about the fast local upload I did earlier.
