Splunk Query not generating proper output

Hi,
We have joined 2 queries for output.When we run individual query we are getting the proper output but when combined we are not getting it. It would be helpful if anyone give thoughts about it.
Queries are as follows:

index=perfmon counter="% Processor Time" source="Perfmon:cputime" earliest=-15m | stats avg(Value) as CpuUsage by role,host|where CpuUsage > 10

index=perfmon counter="% Processor Time"source="Perfmon:Process" | top 6 instance by host|fields instance,host

Do you join? Not add?

[join]
index=perfmon counter="% Processor Time" source="Perfmon:cputime" earliest=-15m | stats avg(Value) as CpuUsage by role,host|where CpuUsage > 10 |join host [index=perfmon counter="% Processor Time"source="Perfmon:Process" | top 6 instance by host|fields instance,host]

[ADD]
index=perfmon counter="% Processor Time" source="Perfmon:cputime" earliest=-15m | stats avg(Value) as CpuUsage by role,host|where CpuUsage > 10 |append [index=perfmon counter="% Processor Time"source="Perfmon:Process" | top 6 instance by host|fields instance,host]

Hi, I tried the above queries but it is only giving me top 1 instance instead of 3/4/5 .. My requirement is "If the 1st query is true then only run 2nd query else dont run" , since it takes lots of time for parsing.. Any help ??
