Sometimes, I just want to get a quick view of what's going on so monitor for a while but the logging is what seems to use up all of the system resources after a while.

A different tool might provide you with a decent ongoing overview of network activity. When customers are interested in this functionality, I have them run NTOP, and instruct them to turn up a machine running wireshark when they feel the need to drill down to byte/bit-level details.
