Current frequency is 1/(2MB). Suppose we ended up scanning the whole
memory on a 2GB host, this will give us 1024 hits. Doesn't feel too much*
to me... But for what it worth, I am against adding read() to the
interface -- just because we can avoid the unnecessary switch into the
kernel.

* For bigger hosts we should increase the window, as we do for the vmstat.
