I'm beginning to think I will need to write a C program for that. top(1)
uses a kinfo_proc structure to get its data and AFAIK there's no easy-to-use
sysctl.
systat and vmstat give only an instant snapshot of the system state with
1 second precision or so. An average on 5 minutes would be much better for my
purposes.
