Is there any correlation between avg-cpu %user and Device sda 
wsec/s writes?

Is there a burst of %user cpu activity followed by a burst of wsec/s writes?

If the system is doing so little, I'd expect less %user cpu activity.
Since the system is 2 CPU, does 48% means one cpu ran solid for a second?

Someone help us...I know there is a command to show open files, lsof.
Does that command include a way to find out disk activity per file or
is there another command that can find out disk activity per file?
I'm hoping, if we identify the file(s) with disk activity, we might identify
the service/application/kernel feature that is hogging the cpu.
