I agree. I don't think you can readily deduce the potential absolute CPU capacity impact from the SIIS % number. That's no doubt why IBM gave general guidance on how serious you should consider the problem rather than saying "oh this is costing you this many CPU seconds/MSUs//MIPS". My recommendation is to also consider the actual CPU consumption during the periods where there is a high SIIS% issue. I've seen cases where the SIIS % is quite high but the actual CPU consumption of the LPAR is relatively minor (e.g. perhaps a sysprog test LPAR or a relatively idle production LPAR) meaning that the net savings will be also relatively minor in the overall scheme of things.
