Understanding the output from esxtop ?

$

hi out there

 

I am pretty new to esx and need some clarification to help understanding the output from esxtop. We are running esxi 4.1 and I try to figure out if we have some cpu contention problems. We are running on dell blade centers with 4 8 core cpu's (ht disabled). I am of course hunting some sluggish response times which could be performance related - but I am not sure how to interprete the numbers here from esxtop - what is normale and when will we get a sluggish response from the system - here - try to take a look - here are some of the vm's running on a esxhost - does this look as a healthy system?

When will %RDY be a problem? and are the other columns here which I should be aware of?
