In briefly looking, it looks like it has this additional data:

 flat line on load graph
 page in/out rates
 swap in/out rates
 Context switches & Interrupts rate
 IP statistics (forwarding rate, Inreceive rate, etc)
 TCP stats (Active opens, Passive opens, CurrEst rate, etc)
 ICMP stats
 UDP stats (Indatagrams, noports, inerrors, outdatagrams)
