Are you paging at all? (vmstat)
What disks are busy - if any? (iostat) What's on those disks? What's the
disk hardware?
How much network activity do you have? This can also lead to I/O waits.
(netstat -i, or topas/nmon will show you this.)
What maintenance level are you at? (oslevel -r, or instfix -i|grep ML)
What application(s) are you running?
Have you looked at the system with nmon, topas or some other tool to see if
particular processes are causing this? (topas is supplied with AIX, so you
should have that available.)
