As someone earlier mentioned, cpu_idle should be zero (or near zero).
I suspect you are IO bound - check mfg specs on IO cards
and IO devices you are using. Then see what IO rate they
are actually delivering (perhaps vmstat output is good enough).

And I suggest you look at what configuration HPUX folks are using
and what performance they are getting.
