This value represents the percentage of time during the sample interval that CPUs were idle, with no processes desiring CPU time. * wa (or wio): Wait for IO time. This value represents the percentage of time during the sample interval that CPUs were idle yet processes were waiting for IO before they could consume CPU resources. Not all IO subsystems will show wait for IO time, even when there are significant IO wait issues. If a wait for IO column is not shown, all wait for IO time becomes part of the idle time. * st: Stolen time. This represents the percentage of time during the interval stolen from a virtual machine. This can be considered part of the true idle time. If you are not running a virtual machine, this value should always be zero.
