Um, that's every *two seconds*.  That seems more worrisome to me (on my
system) than every few minutes.

Again, every *two seconds*.

I wonder if there's a C library wrapper which provides such a feature (wraps
system calls and collects statistics).  strace does do that but you have to
monitor each process individually.  Enjoy.
