Good day all,

I noticed a '/usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1' entry on my cron log file. I looked a the
man pages for sa1 and it went-over-my-head. "Collect and store binary data
in the system activity daily data file" it says. I know it's running every
10 minutes.

It's a file that contains system processing accounting. When you install System Accounting, it adds a cron job that checks the logfiles for interesting things.... BTW if you try to read that logfile, you will notice that it is not a text file.

regards,
