a, what should be the max value of context switching (cs) ?
b, what should be the max value of Time spent waiting for IO (wa) ?
esp how do I know the reason behind the high value of wa,
i.e, is it because the high network I/O or high disk I/O
I know the high value of 'bi' and 'bo'(disk I/O) is also the cause of high value of 'wa', but how do I know that if the high rate of network I/O is also involved in the high vlaues of 'wa'
I mean how can I check that too much network I/O or slow network is also involved in the high value of 'wa'
