[hobbit] Solaris vmstat and sar

[Langford, Kenneth]

The vmstat first line shows the system average stats for systems since
the last time the system was booted.  Vmstat shows the average use over
the 5 second interval in you example below of vmstat 5 5.  Sar shows the
stats at the time the check was taken.  So you are not comparing apples
to apples.  So they are going to give you different results.

Tried that, It didn't work. You still get some lines that
have incorrect data, like 67% idle. The sar data showed cpu
idle at 1% or 0% all 5 lines.

vmstat first output is invalid.  doing vmstat 5 5 the other 4 should
change to reflect sar
