i understand id is idle, what my question here is through out the process the cpu is 93% idle so what my understanding was that increasing cpu speed is not going to solve the problem. can you just explain to me what are the elements you are looking at to recommend a server with higher cpu speed.
It will be very helpful if you could tell me what utilities i can use to compare the two servers.
pardon me if i am asking something that i am not supposed to be , i am newbie in system performance area

-C configfile, --config configfile

-h, --help
Display help for CPU. If specified in conjunction with the -m option the help for that particular module is displayed.
-M method, --method=method
This is the method of administration. Current options are ldap or passwd (passwd is not yet working). This can be specified in the
