"midaemon" is part of MeasureWare. Whether you need it running 24/7 depends on whether you are using MeasureWare to monitor your system performance in detail and whether you have enough disc space to hold the files it creates in /var/opt/perf/datafiles .
The on/off switch for "midaemon" is in /etc/rc.config.d/mwa .
If it is not running it will start itself for the duration of a "glance" session.
Using "glance" itself the following options are useful clues about performance:
m = memory report
t = system tables
B = global waits
i = i/o by filesystem
The figures you post don't show a system under great stress. The disc utilisation is so low that I wonder if the active portion of the database fits into its own buffers or whether you have very slow discs. Normally I would expect a database system to be disc-bound. I can't imagine that anyone would configure Informix to use raw disc nowadays but that might be an explanation.

NAME
cdde - Compact Disc Detect & Execute
SYNOPSIS
cdde [-c filename] [-rbvVh]
DESCRIPTION
cdde is a program that detects when a cdrom drive on your system has had a disc inserted.
When it finds a disc inserted in the drive it will attempt to determine the type of the disc, and execute a specified command.
This means you can put in a dvd and your favorite dvd software will start, or put in a data cd and it will be automatically mounted for
you.
Right now cdde can detect the following types of discs:
* audio cd
* data cd
* dvd
* mixed audio/data cd
* vcd
* svcd
* blank cdr/dvdr
For now the dvd checking is just a bit of magic that checks to see if there's a "video_ts" directory on the disc. Same goes for the vcd
checking: it just looks for a "vcd" directory on the disc.
cdde reads its configuration from "~/.cdde.xml" unless otherwise specified on the command line.
OPTIONS
-r, --run
Run commands on disc already in drive when is started.
-b, --batch
Batch mode: check all drives once then exit. (implies -r)
-c, --config <filename>
Use the config file <filename>. (Default is ~/.cdde.xml)
-v, --verbose
Print out lots of information.
-V, --version
Print out version information.
-h, --help
Print Display this help and exit.
FILES
~/.cdde.xml
SEE ALSO
cdde.xml(5)
