The numbers are meaningless unless you look at them twice over some period and see what how
the numbers change.

That said, there doesn't seem to be much happening on either system.   If
you add up the last two numbers and subtract from 100, that's the ammount
of time spent elsewhere (probably vmware somewhere).

It sounds like you're being bitten by an interaction with vmware.  What
does a ps on the cpu server show?  Is it doing anything?
