Percentage CPU usage incorrect on multi-thread tasks

[hucker]

The numbers in brackets indicate less than 100% of 4 threads in use.  The correct answer should be 82%, by calculating (CPU time / wall time / CPU threads) * 100

I think what you might have done is forget to divide by the CPU threads, which gives 328%, which was then capped at 100%.

OK, do you have a project for me to test?
