While analysing CPU utilisation, I see that kproc processes
take upto 70-80 % of CPU time, is this enough evidence that
CPU is really busy uotp 80%. Does anyone know what kproc
processes mean.

kproc is a stupid way of keeping the processor busy when there's nothing else to do. Don't worry about it but complain to IBM if you think it's stupid.
