Vada,
disks are only thrashing when you are very low in memory and your systems is permanently paging in and out.
Disks being busy up to 70% is normal on AIX and no reason for concern ... are you trying to investigate high IO waits from cpu? What kind of applications do you run?
I agree with DukeNuke, it would be more helpful if we could see your stats to tell you more than fishing in the dark.

x11perfcomp
X11PERFCOMP(1) General Commands Manual X11PERFCOMP(1)
NAME
x11perfcomp - X11 server performance comparison program
SYNTAX
x11perfcomp [ -r | -ro ] [ -l label_file ] files
DESCRIPTION
The x11perfcomp program merges the output of several x11perf(1) runs into a nice tabular format. It takes the results in each file, fills
in any missing test results if necessary, and for each test shows the objects/second rate of each server. If invoked with the -r or -ro
options, it shows the relative performance of each server to the first server.
Normally, x11perfcomp uses the first file specified to determine which specific tests it should report on. Some (non-DEC :) servers may
fail to perform all tests. In this case, x11perfcomp automatically substitutes in a rate of 0.0 objects/second. Since the first file
determines which tests to report on, this file must contain a superset of the tests reported in the other files, else x11perfcomp will
fail.
You can provide an explicit list of tests to report on by using the -l switch to specify a file of labels. You can create a label file by
using the -label option in x11perf.
OPTIONS
x11perfcomp accepts the options listed below:
-r Specifies that the output should also include relative server performance.
-ro Specifies that the output should include only relative server performance.
-l label_file Specifies a label file to use.
X DEFAULTS
There are no X defaults used by this program.
SEE ALSO
X(7x), x11perf(1)
AUTHORS
Mark Moraes wrote the original scripts to compare servers.
Joel McCormack just munged them together a bit.
