Do the counts and nsec columns indicate total number of calls and time

Assuming it is total number of calls and time waited it calls into

contention being the problem since the wait values are very small
compared to the count. Please provide more detail on what these numbers
mean.

Note that output I posted was gathered from a fileserver process that was (and still is) running normally.
