While not it any way knocking dstat, it's not the same thing as sar; sar
uses two collection agents (sa1, sa2) to record historic data over
intervals to be later interpreted. dstat is a realtime oriented
diagnostic tool, not historic. They are best used together, as they have
two seperate concepts in mind - I think it's better to only compare
dstat with the specific realtime functionality of sar.
