Some parsers don't use whitespace delimeters, but instead use column
position.  But I don't know if the vmstat parser does the same.

vmstat command line appears to be “vmstat 300 2”…that’s 300 captures in 2

No, I think you'll find that it's two captures in 300 second intervals.
 The first sample is the total/average since last boot, and the second
sample is the total/average since the first one.  The first sample is
discarded.

Yes, perhaps.  I only have one vmstat command running at any one time.  You
might try killing both off and see what happens.
