The systemstats service reports on CPU time metrics. These are continuous counters as a result we get something of an integral instead of a time spent in mode X during the last interval. Each interval the CPU stats should be collected and value output for the current interval not a running total.

example:
currently our counters look like this: 0, 10 ,30, 50, 60 , 100....
the should look something like this: 0, 10, 20,20,10,40

where the step size is output not the total.
The accumulated totals may be of value so they will be made available as an option in the config.
