    CPU usage measuring is weird on Linux, when top says CPU usage is at 200% and you start panicking.

      100% (I.e. Load Avg =1.0) is 1 core at full load

      If you have 12 hyper threaded cores across 2 sockets then you’re not maxed until 48.0, or 4800%

      It would be nice to see in terms of total system percentage but I get why it is the way it is
