Echoing Chuck's comments: upgrade. You are almost 4 major releases behind.

Load average: 0.00 0.00 0.00

High load?

Note that your OS may or may not count individual threads as processes
for the purposes of computing the load average (which, on Linux, is
the average length of the run queue in number-of-processes). If your
kernel doesn't count threads separately, then you can have an
effective load of, say, 100, even though your load average only says
1.00 (because it's all counted as one process). Just be sure you know
what your numbers mean.

CPU(s) is(are) 90% idle. High load? Looks like even user/system use
which suggests that at least something is being accomplished.

109% of your CPU suggests that more than one CPU is in use: how many
do you have?

You mean lots of apparent CPU usage.

This thread is handling a request: are you sure there is no traffic?

All other threads are idle or blocked on some condition, which means
they shouldn't be using any CPU at all.

Are you sure you got a thread dump from the right process?
