That looks to me like quite a weak system and has got 3 running
processes and 215 sleeping. I can easily see that 59.6% of your CPU is
being used and your load averages being as they are.

I don't think another tool would help. You've just got a weak system
running lots of processes. None very big but they all add up to quite
a big chunk of CPU. It looks like it's handling it OK though.
