Any more ideas about what to look at?

The above leader seems like time spent in CPU power management,
the second command seems invoked from first.

Googling for "illumos acpi_cpu_cstate" led to a number of issues...
https://www.illumos.org/issues/1333
https://www.illumos.org/issues/3084

These suggest that there are (were?) issues with power management, at
least on some platforms, and in particular that in their cases the
kernel time started at 0% but could grow over time to some 20%.

You might look into whether this is relevant to your case, if you can
disable the cpupm completely and if that helps...
