The basic information is there, but you loose the knowledge of how is the
work distributed during the day. If you work 5 hours in the morning and then
just click shut down in the evening you get misleading work period. From
this historystat format you cannot make any conclusions about workloads
during the day (which could be interesting), that is what I tried to point
out.
