Is this a database box - maybe oracle - with CIO enabled or using raw devices and/or using async IO a lot?
Your output looks healthy if this is a peak time of the day - you should still monitor cpu it if goes up in peak times - eg during batches - and as IBM states, if you see all the time cpu usage above 80% you might want to think about adding one to avoid problems in times of high usage ...
I would like to see the output of vmstat -I 5 5 too if you dont mind ?

Kind regards
zxmaus
