The provided outputs doesn't indicate any serious issues. CPU idle time is above 75% and no active swapping is visible. You may check the possibility of tweaking the MySQL server for better performance.

Hello

The load itself looks normal, but if you are looking to troubleshoot load or CPU usage, the following thread should help:
