Updating all counters at this interval may be a bit excessive. I
suggest to change the code to fetch the port table entries and check
for status changes once per second and perform the counter stuff only
at a fixed multiple of that interval (also what Frederic
suggested). If we chose 5 as the multiplier we get the previous
behaviour.  This change is in
