Why not too much for this to be a problem? The snapshot you provided doesn't
look too bad. It must have been taken at a lull. I see an awful lot of mysql
processes. Under high load, the mysql processes are going to eat lots of
CPU. You might consider setting up a separate database server just for
MySQL. At the very least, you should consider refining your MySQL queries.
