This is actually normal. It's a side effect of the fact that those RPMs 
fire the client off every 100s instead of every 5m. Although vmstat (and 
anything launched the same way) is collecting info for the previous 5m, 
it's doing it once for each client execution that occurs during that 
time (3x). You end up with a rolling 5m average than a discrete 5m block 
when $interval != $collectionperiod.

FQDN issue possible here as well?
