Look at the information provided here.
https://bsd44.blogspot.com/2004/12/vmstat.html
Looks like faults is nothing but interrupts, so a high number shows a busy system.
Faults:
The faults section shows system faults. Faults, in this case, aren't bad, they're just received system traps and interrupts.
in Shows the number of system interrupts (IRQ requests) the system received in the last five seconds.
sy Shows the number of system calls in the last five seconds.
cs Gives the number of context switches, or times the CPU changed from doing one thing to doing another.
