Cool thing!

Two questions:
 - shouldn't the "Total" Bufsize kB be equal to the ammount in the first
   line ("There are ...")?
 - What is "Valid kB" over "Bufsize kB" - Actually used space vs. Size of
   the buffer? (If so, could the "Valid kB" be changed to "kB in use" or
   something a bit more descriptive?)
