OS_CPU_WAIT_TIME

Hi All,
Does anyone know OS_CPU_WAIT_TIME means in V$OSSTAT. My clients system's OS_CPU_WAIT_TIME shows very very large number like "73,803,038,900" while CPU usage % does not so high... Is it meaningless information?

Oracle Reference Manual shows OS_CPU_WAIT_TIME as following. - Total number of hundredths of a second that processes have been in a ready state, waiting to be selected by the operating system scheduler to run

includes idle time?
