It isn't reporting 99% of 4 Xeons, but 99% of one Xeon.
Bonnie just takes cpu/elapsed*100.
it also depends on the load. if bonnie is the only real load on the
machine then cpu util will be 99%.
james: does it affect responsiveness? and if you run a couple of
other cpu hogging processes (eg rc5des at normal nice level), does
bonnie's cpu util go down? and does it affect results.
my feeling is that cpu util will go down significantly, but bonnie
performance will not.
Still, it can't be right.
