I'm working on an AIX (4.3) box which seems to be CPU bound. vmstat and iostat -t both show idle cpu and iowait at 0%. User and system cpu are about 40/60. While trying to track down the source of this load, I looked at the %cpu (-o pcpu) of the processes. One process, spawned from an import, was using about 30% of the cpu. The sum of all pcpu obtained from ps doesn't break 35-40%. I am assuming that this is user cpu, and that the import process is using 3/4 of the user cpu. Since the import is io intensive, I am guessing it is also using a healthy chunk of the system cpu. Is there any way to track this down? Multiple applications (manned by different teams) run on the same server, and so the more I can irrefutably nail down, the better.
Thanks for the help.
