is painted for every received snapshot. If the
line is green it indicates properly received
snapshots, with the height of the bar proportional
to the ping. If the bar is yellow it indicates
that the snapshot was held back because it hit the
rate limit. If the line is red it means the
snapshot was dropped by the network...Lots of
