this is the snap of vmstat , Which shows 102 processes have been swapped out ( column "w" ) . Wat does that convey ?
Does that have any impact on CPU utilization ?.
Thanks,

It means that at some point in time since the machine booted and now, the memory was so low that processes were swapped out to try to free memory.
This may have been a temporary condition in the past, or it may be a current condition now.

Not necessarily. CPU and memory are independent resources, but dealing with memory shortfall can make it difficult to effectively utilize a CPU.
