Vmstat

I have MATLAB INSTALLED IN MY SUN MACHINE >>
WHENEVER I USE IT THE CPU USAGE SHOWS ABT 90%
Seeing the vmstat shows that system calls and context switch counters reach a very high value .
What are these counters ( Man pages do not give much info on that) ....
The only thing i can make out that there is a system bottleneck .
Wat steps should i take in such a situation ....

Thanx
