--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
There wouldn't necessarily be a way to tell if we changed it, either; if all
processes displayed raw numbers rather than re-scaling them to 100%, then with
low load where they didn't all add up to 100%, you still wouldn't be able to
tell.

That said, I think the underlying problem here is that the numbers *are*
re-scaled to 100%, which is not expected based on how other performance
monitoring tools work, and also less useful than displaying a raw number.

For example, on my 16-core system, a process that displays 6% is actually
maxing out an entire core and generating a substantial amount of heat and fan
noise, but this rogue process won't be easily identifiable based on its CPU
usage number.

Marking as a duplicate of Bug 449414, which tracks that.
