We are using RHEL 5.0 & 4.5 (pending if using Oracle or not). So I am
assuming the information form PERFKIT is the best measure of CPU Usage?

I am trying to understand the "waiting for I/O" value of CPU, is this
CPU unable to process other work?

What version of what distribution do you have?  Anything prior to SLES10
and RHEL5, the data from inside the guest is pretty much meaningless.
