I don't quite understand how a guest can be using 52% of the CPU, but your system is only 12% busy, unless you're running a 4-way system. As Alan Altmark points out in another note, you might want to consider upgrading to a much more current version of z/VM. It's much, much cheaper than what you're running now, and it has had lots of changes made to enhance the running of Linux guests.
