That *is* very annoying. Basically, writes to
that file are buffered, and it will only write the data to the file in
big chunks (kilobytes at least). Those big chunks might reflect *gigabytes*
of data in just a few dozen lines, and yes, that can mean hours between
updates.
Get used to using top/vmstat/dstat... ;)
Glad it worked for you.
