@phorese - thanks for the suggestions - great color info
For those who might be interested, I have updated things so that
* colors are a little brighter (not right yet, but maybe better for now)
* the list is always prepended to, not appended
this immediately helps convey the "velocity"; if you mouseover an element in the list, it should pause the insertions (although the counters keep going); when you mouse out, all the "backed up" events slide down. Might be some quirks on browsers with that, but not using anything fancy... this has not been tweaked to work well on mobile browsers yet either.
* there is an option to have it append to the list instead of prepend. Not sure this is needed at all, now that I think about it
There might be 503's sometimes. I don't think it's a quota issue, but just that googledrive can do that under load. I think http code 403 would mean a quota issue. Could be wrong, though. I removed an unnecessary 1MB(!) download that might help.
