I'm running Ubuntu's System Monitor:

CPU History:
CPU1: about 30%; CPU2: about 30%

Memory and Swap History:
Memory: about 50% 1.9 GiB (52.7%) of 3.6 GiB
  Swap: 553.1 MiB (14.4%) of 3.7 GiB

Network History:
Varies...Now both Receiving and Sending are flat-lined at 0.0 KiB/second.
Receiving peaks at 100 KiB/sec, then goes flat at 0 bytes/sec; Sending
does the same thing.

After I changed the shares, tahoe seems to be going better.

Where should I look to see tahoe's performance?
