I suppose I should have been more clear. :)  Instead of just seeing the 
numbers flash by, what I'd like to see, is a grid of blocks, or block 
groups, or some such scaling, that shows something like a green square 
for reads and a red square for writes, with 'blank' being no activity. 
That way, I can see how the disk device is being accessed in real-time 
(or close) while I run certain activities/benchmarks/etc.
