I hope my understanding of the terms is right.. For me accouting is to find out WHO has used a resource how much (to write bills). systat does not provide this information. systat just tells you how much a resource has been used at a given time. Its main goal is to find bottlenecks or to find a reason to the statement "the system is slow".
