    Seriously? Heh, aah, no, those are not how many CPUs they're using, it is total percentage of CPU power/workload. So 05 is 5%, 01 1% and so-on. When nothing's going on, you will usually see 85-99% of CPU usage on the "System Idle Process" process.

    During the normal operation of a computer you will see different processes utilizing the CPU at various times to varying degrees. In a multi-core CPU, some programs may utilize one core more than another, but that will still be only a portion of the overall CPU usage.
