I would guess gzip must run on exactly 1 cpu, at any given time.
If so, then at most, gzip could use 1/8 of the total
CPU resources or 12.5%, as reported by windows task manager,
right? So procps is reporting the percent of the current virtual CPU,
that gzip is using, right?
Notice that 'pslist' (from SysInternals) shows gzip, using
9%; 9/12.5 * 100 = 72% of 1 virtual CPU.
Is there a way to prove that a given process with more than 1 thread,
is still restricted to just one CPU?
Unless you have manually set affinity, why would this be true? More
likely, only one thread is actually doing anything.
