Hm.  It looks like net-snmp has two different pieces of code that both
do the same thing (read CPU and vmstat info).  I wonder which OIDs
trigger them on your system?  On my system, walking
enterprises.ucdavis.systemStats uses the cpu_nlist.c code.  Here's a
patch for the other file (vmstat_freebsd2.c); it's not even compiled on
my 7-stable system, so I can't verify that it's correct.  I'm not sure
why my first patch didn't apply; I attached it straight out of my
net-snmp/files/ directory.
