Just a minor point: There might be a misconception that high CPU utilization means your computer is inadequate for the task.
Actually, you want the CPU to work hard for you. It isn't only CPU you should worry about, it's what is called the 'run queue'. The run queue determines how long your job has to wait until it's serviced by the computer. It's okay to have 100% CPU (and in fact you want it) if you don't have to wait at all. A person assessing the performance of a computer looks at several other things besides CPU when determining what to tune for better performance.
