Well yes, but the CPU History tab is showing each core at 100% for ~75% of the
time. I think I'm still trying to get my head around the difference between
CPU threads and program threads.
I think that what you are saying that the Process Table is showing CPU
percentage for the whole processor, (eg all cores and all hardware threads)
with the % consumed by each process, whereas the History tab is showing the
percentages for each individual hardware thread.
If so, it would have been better if the software guys or the hardware guys
(whoever came last) had picked some other name for the feature that they
wanted to describe.
