A bit sooner than planned but these results already give some trend
info. Memory related ficgures only go up after the first set of numbers.
Interestingly the CPU doesn't appear to be stable after the first sample
(which was not at the same time of day as the others).
The CPU-time per day (see TIME collumn) isn't a steady increasing number.

What do we see here? Do you need a graph?
