I read them, but it is not still clear about:

Kernel    0.0   |                          
User      0.2   |                        
Wait      0.0   |                          
Idle     99.7   |############################

This means the system is idle, correct?  The more '#'s on Idle, the less work on the system?
How about Kernel, User, and Wait?

The more '#'s on Kernel, User, and Wait means???

so, the more '#####'s on Kernel, User, and Wait means what?
To make it simple, the more '#####'s on Kernel, User, and Wait means the system busier. If the system is constantly busy, then you might have performance issue.
I see.  
The more '#####'s on Idle is 'good'
The more '#####'s on Kernel, User, and Wait is 'not good', correct?
