<![CDATA[CPU usage graph on System Info page, show 20% of whole system CPU instead of single-core CPU?]]>I'm curious... I have 8 CPU cores on my dedicated server at OVH and my graphs commonly look like the image below.

I'm thinking that the graph would be much more helpful if it was the arbitrary 20% of full system CPU rather than just 20% of one CPU core. Because 20% of just one CPU core in an 8-core system (or even a 4-core system) is hardly anything to be concerned about, generally speaking of course.

Would anyone else like to see this perhaps be 20% of full system CPU instead of just 20% of a single core?

It’s just an area where I think it can be improved. To me 20% of a single core is very different than 20% of the system CPU.

Seeing most of the apps at basically 0% except for the odd spike of above 20% of a single core on an 8-core system just seems like noise to me.

I’d have thought it’d just be ideal if it was graphed as 20% of the system CPU instead of a single core CPU for which apps make the cut into the graph.

Maybe I’m all alone on that view though 😅

Generally this graph example just shows that the system is fine, not sure why it causes concern.

The rest are not even visible, even thought they do, for short periods of time.

I'd rather see the spikiness of some apps than a not so useful wash of ~20% supposedly being used by openvpn.
