Fair enough, I haven't used that PM tool nor am I a windows
expert. I've just seen too many people confuse the CPU issue,
and wanted to clear it up a bit.
Fair enough. I suppose the nomenclature used by PerfMon and other tools is unclear if you don't really know what's going on.
Implicit in the "load" is a time interval integration. The concept of a percentage breaks down to simply 100/0 values when the scale approaches the frequency at which it alternates between CPU-bound and IO-bound, or the "quantum" slice at which it time-slices.
