What you are reporting is pretty normal, for example, this is a CentOS 4
httpd/php server doing pretty much nothing at the moment...

Tasks: 81 total, 1 running, 80 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.3% us, 0.3% sy, 0.0% ni, 99.3% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi,
0.0% si
Mem: 515604k total, 513964k used, 1640k free, 39500k buffers
Swap: 1048568k total, 149008k used, 899560k free, 160180k cached
