Description David 2021-10-20 16:17:40 UTC

SUMMARY
When I go to the "Applications" page of the system monitor app, at the beginning it will show negative reading speeds for apps, which disappear after 1 second or so.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch system monitor.
2. Go to the "Applications" page.
3. Watch the column "Read".

OBSERVED RESULT
Shows negative speeds.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should not show anything for applications that are not doing IO, and should not in any case display negative numbers.

ProcessCore: Check the actual previous values when updating IO rates

During startup, we may end up updating IO rates with a previous value of
0. This leads to ridiculously large numbers. To prevent it, don't use a
global flag to track this, but check the actual previous values and
elapsed time when updating rates and ignore updates when either is <= 0.
