This seems reasonable.  I don't have much spare capacity to work on
iftop ATM, but I've put the patch in my "iftop to-do" folder for when I
do.

Yes, me too.  Shouldn't be that hard to implement as iftop already
calculates the peak BW within the last 40s.  I've put it on my to-do
list, but if someone beats me to it I'll be delighted to receive a
patch.
