How can that 2.00 possibly mean 200%? The load can only be measured up to 100%;
over 100% would indicate that the load is higher than the CPU can handle (100% being
defined as "maximum amount of processing that the CPU is capable of").
Or am I totally misunderstanding ?
I don't think it means 200%, but do agree that it seems high.
