SMT is on running on a P720 (ie SMT=4), AIX TL6-SP3-1048 (6100-06-03-1048)
A DATA Base server (Universe DB). No changes on system , except volume, ie more user activity
That is the main issue: I do not have any more data to offer except observations in regards the high syscall count, I was hoping to understand how I can I get to see the syscals being made; I ran a trace---> curt and and the majority of calls are made to "unknown" routines.

syscall(3UCB) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Library Functions syscall(3UCB)
NAME
syscall - indirect system call
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/cc [ flag ... ] file ...
#include <sys/syscall.h>
int syscall(number, arg, ...);
DESCRIPTION
syscall() performs the function whose assembly language interface has the specified number, and arguments arg .... Symbolic constants for
functions can be found in the header <sys/syscall.h>.
RETURN VALUES
On error syscall() returns -1 and sets the external variable errno (see intro(2)).
FILES
<sys/syscall.h>
SEE ALSO
intro(2), pipe(2)
NOTES
Use of these interfaces should be restricted to only applications written on BSD platforms. Use of these interfaces with any of the system
libraries or in multi-thread applications is unsupported.
WARNINGS
There is no way to use syscall() to call functions such as pipe(2) which return values that do not fit into one hardware register.
Since many system calls are implemented as library wrappers around traps to the kernel, these calls may not behave as documented when
called from syscall(), which bypasses these wrappers. For these reasons, using syscall() is not recommended.
