That all looks OK. Your machine is waiting on disk I/O.
We changed the representation of the cpu states in /proc a while ago and I
have a vague feeling that this has caused some versions of the userspace
tools to confuse disk-wait with system time.
Try grabbing the latest vmstat from procps.sourceforge.net
