There are programs available to watch various aspects of your system.
iftop
See active internet connections. e.g.
# iftop -i eth1
Will show you websites that don't close a connection, when the tab is left open. A privacy and security nightmare. This is a reason why Javascript is bad.
vmstat
See RAM usage. Can be watched, to monitor swapping. e.g.
$ vmstat 3
Leave it running. It will update every 3 seconds.
iotop
See HDD accesses. e.g.
# iotop --only # iotop -o
only flag will show active processes only
