Eeek,
Could you explain the rationale of this?.
100% means “all resources”, 200% means “twice all resources”, how is
this supposed to be interpreted?
Having 100% on this setup (of 200% max) only means actually 50%, not
100% of supposedly one core and having another core still available.
We are not collecting per-cpu statistics, so it's misleading at best.
If it's a question of “precision” (those are approximate stats), use ‰,
not %.
Thanks
