   It certainly seems like you have permissions issues causing these problems.   
      
   What I would do is chown everything back to your BBS user and start from   
   there.  There is no need to ever set anything to root or use root.  When your   
   BBS is completely shutdown run "sudo ./mis killbusy   
      
   When you do set root ownership or run as root user, any files it touches is   
   going to now be owned by root.  This is going to break things across the board.   
      
   I can't comment on it slowing down but I will do some testing here to see if I   
   can reproduce it and clean it up.  When you snoop it is doing more by sending   
   data to more places, so it will require more processing power while snooping.    
   But I wouldn't think it'd be all that noticable to a remote user.  What are   
   you running it on?  Maybe if its a Pi 1 or Zero or something it but outside   
   that I wouldn't think there would be a dramatic performance hit.  I'll check   
   into it!   
      
   I will also change NodeSpy to change the root user like the rest of things do,   
   so that you'll be able to run it as "sudo ./nodespy" without causing any   
   issues in the future.   
      
   ... The seminar on time travel will be held two weeks ago
