That's not really the case... the files in /proc aren't really files.
They're just presented as files to to make accessing them easy, but
they're basically hooks into the kernel to access system information.
They're always zero because they're really zero... they don't take up any
disk space (only inodes, I assume) just like symbolic file links.
