There are other considerations too, such as is your CPU allocation fixed or variable? It might sound odd, but an LPAR can (configuration choice) use more CPU if it is available on the whole server and other LPARs are fully using (or indeed there is some unallocated). You also need to know if you have a share of processors or whole CPUs allocated. That can really skew the figures too.
You would need to better clarify what you have.
What output do you get from something like vmstat 5 3?

dxsysinfo
dxsysinfo(8) System Manager's Manual dxsysinfo(8)
NAME
dxsysinfo - Monitors system information such as CPU activity, memory, swap space, and file system usage
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dxsysinfo [options]
OPTIONS
Displays the CPU Activity meter. Shrinks the window so that only the General Information area is visible. The -dashview option is ignored
when it conflicts with other options or when all of the components in the General Information area were deselected in a previous invocation
of the System Information application. This option is incompatible with the -fs option. If -dashview is specified with -fs, -dashview is
ignored. Displays the File System area. Displays warning lights for file systems and swap space that have exceeded the recommended
threshold. Displays the In-Use Memory meter. Displays the Available Swap meter.
When these options are used on the command line, only the specified parts of the application are displayed.
A user preferences file is created in the user's home directory the first time the application runs. It records user-specified options and
any customizations made while running the application. If any of the command line options other than the -dashview option are used, the
System Information application does not read the View state settings in the user preferences file. If the -dashview option is used on the
command line without any other options, the application reads the View state settings in the user preferences file, $HOME/.sysman/Dxsys-
info.
System Information accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options, which are documented in the X(1X) reference page.
DESCRIPTION
Use the System Information application, dxsysinfo, to: Obtain general information about the operating system and version, amount of RAM,
and number of CPUs Monitor CPU activity, in-use memory, available swap space, and file system usage Set and modify file system thresholds
To start dxsysinfo from the CDE desktop: Click on the Application Manager icon on the CDE front panel. Double click on the System_Admin
application group icon. Double click on the DailyAdmin application group icon. Double click on the System Information application icon.
EXAMPLES
To start System Information from the command line, enter: /usr/bin/X11/dxsysinfo
Online Help
For additional information about the graphical user interface, see the online help volume. To open the online help volume from within Sys-
tem Information, run the application and choose Overview from the Help menu in the main window.
You can view the System Information online help volume without running the application. To open the System Information help volume from the
command line, enter the following command: /usr/dt/bin/dthelpview -helpVolume /usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/Dxsysinfo.sdl
FILES
Contains user preferences that control the appearance of the application, file system information, and device information Contains the Sys-
tem Information executable Contains the System Information help volume Contains the default values for the application's X resources
