Unit Notes - vmstat (virtual memory statistics)

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vmstat

I've formatted the following example to make it a little easier to read.

$ vmstat 5
  kthr      memory            page             disk            faults        cpu
 r  b w   swap    free   re   mf   pi  po fr de sr m0 m2 m3 m4  in    sy     cs  us sy id

In this specific example, we are having issues with blocking.
