The problem with that is that it does not give you a % idle

I've often wondered how iostat gives a %busy figure and whether this
translated accurately without further info from the kernel.
Oh, it does havea "%util" in its extended stats. Sorry I missed
that so you might be right.
Hmm, so I guess it uses io_ticks and that does appear to give
the valid measure. I'll have a think about that - perhaps there
is still a place for the split read/write statistics I'm using...
Thanks,
Nick
