I should be able to convert the jiffies into %, but I'm not sure how.
Actually, you are already looking at a percentage. The reason you might
think the sum is not always 100% is because the color of "Idle" is white.
Since I need to work on data (for example I need to compute even the
standard deviation, median, etc...) the data on csv file are like this:
epoch,value
1341837459,1252334
1341837469,1253333
1341837479,1254329
I need to convert the 1254329 jiffies into percentage.
How?
Cheers,

In fact, it's not always a percentage, depending on the system architecture,
but definitely always a multiple thereof. In linux, a "jiffy"¹ often
corresponds to 1/100th of a second, so you're actually looking at the graph
measuring the number of 1/100th of seconds passed every second, which is
obviously always equal to 100 :-)

¹ Quoting Wikipedia, "a jiffy is the duration of one tick of the system timer
interrupt".
