You may confirm the load with 'vmstat 1'. The first column with the processor run
queue must be at a high rate, and certainly the cpu idle is null.
You may search for cpu consumer processes with either AIX 'topas' or the 'monitor'
freeware.
If the 'sar -c 1 100' shows a high rate of fork/exec, then it's possible you have
scripts running that make a lot of external calls.
