'sar' would be my binary of choice if you just wanted to view CPU perf data. There are a few approaches you could take:
1. Have the person that has root access do a SetUID on sar so you can run it. This may produce some security concerns in your environment.
2. Have the person with root create a cronjob to run sar at some interval and pump the data to an output file that you have access to.
3. Buy a third party product to monitor the system. Someone would have to install some software on the AIX system but after that you wouldn't even need to login to get perf data.
