Yo 'stera!

From my PoV:

iostat  - It's about IOPS, not MiB/sec
ethstatus - km/h for NICs
dstat - all of the above, and some more
tshark - if tcpdump -X gets too nasty and you're too lazy for proper wireshark
grep | awk | sort | uniq -c
perl -l, -n, -p, -e (perldoc perlrun)
watch in combination with /proc/$PID/fd, /proc/$PID/fdinfo - instant progressbar!
pv - progress bars for pipes!

lg,
Michael
