All four cores at 100%? We don’t see that kind of spike when we open some other application right? Is it the experience of everyone? Or am I wrong in this?
That first data point is simply invalid. Ignore it. Monitoring software usually report some kind of statistic (mean, median, min/max, etc) taken from measurements over a period of time instead of the instantaneous value when the report is updated. But they can’t do that for the first data point when the application is launched because there’s no time period over which to measure it.
I paid for all the cores, I’m gonna use all the cores!
Unless bottlenecked somewhere else, we would want to see 100 % with everything that takes more than some milliseconds.
