what does "-q" flag stands for in your version of sar ? In mine says :
"Report queue length and load averages."

Columns

These are the columns

runq-sz %runocc swpq-sz %swpocc

Hence ,

runq-sz is usually 1
%runocc is usally 100, thus 100% and that is why I'm worried and don't know what to do this data.
