Network throughput as bps would be really good and save a lot of other calculations (does not alleviate the need for a maths plugin but would save a lot of cycles). In particular if you are wanting to monitor multiple adapters it is a big help, in much the same way as the system plugin's shorthand for memory utilization is very useful.
Next, lcd4linux has a split-bar display mode that is extremely useful. Basically you have a regular horizontal bar, but it is two mini-bars stacked one on the other, with two two different inputs mapped to each mini-bar. So for example, instead of one bar that shows summary network throughput, you have a split bar that shows sent bps on top and rcvd bps on the bottom. Also works good with disk I/O, with reads in one and writes in the other. This gives 2x the info in the same amount of space.
Here is a sample from their XWindows driver, which shows CPU busy for CPU0 and CPU1 separately, and bytes sent/rcvd separately.
