The trends patch from http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2007/01/msg00236.html is 
also handy.  I use it for a lot of scripts and it is not changing any core 
functions.  I don't know if you call this a feature....

I also have 2 small patches for aix: one for 2 extra power5 counters and one 
for actual memory reporting (I don't remember creating this patch myself, but 
I think that without this page you don't get any reports on actual memory 
usage on AIX).  I can send the diffs to the Hobbitmon-developer mailinglist.
