Crazy high system time.

If it is not transparent hugepages, the other suspect is fork().
Turn on "log_connections" for a minute or two and see if there are lots
of connections established.  That can easily use your CPU.

Other than that, I am out of guesses.

I have heard that before, and I am sure you are right.

I grant that if it is low, it may just mean that the CPU is under load.
But if %iowait is high, my experience is that that indicates an I/O problem.
