Another nifty trick with vmstat is vmstat [interval] [number of loops].
It outputs a nicely formatted table of memory, cpu, and disk subsystem
activity. Very good for isolating performance problems, you can run one
command and say "ah hah, your problem is that the disks are running like
gerbils on crack and the system is spending all its time blocked and
waiting for disks. Buy more and faster drives."
