Principially I agree. But it is not only a peak meter problem. If you
have many lines scrolling on the wps you don't need a peak meter to
make the jukebox stutter while loading. -> It is a more basic problem.
I think we need a way to ask the loading / bitswapping engines wether
they are busy. This way we could disable performance eaters when
necessary.
