OT: Application server performance issue

Anyone seen statistics like this before?  These are from a web server
that I can't get access to, but I had someone send me a couple of
statistics.  I'm not a system administrator, but the curious thing to
me is the runq spikes up, but the %idle stays high.  This is a 1 cpu
Linux (Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.00GHz) machine.  My gut feeling is that
the application (which they claim is slow) has a cpu bottleneck on the
web server.

Thanks in advance for any advice.  (Sorry if the statistics are hard to
read)
