Processor usage is measured per core, so a dual core can do 200% max. Overheating is not normal on PCs, but it's a common risk on laptops (they should throttle the processor speed automatically to avoid it). > This happens consistently with darktable, and also with Shotwell when > importing new files. > > Is this normal?

If you are on a laptop, see if the cpufreq system (or similar) is working properly. Otherwise I would check the CPU/cooling/mainboard/power supply. General idea: exchange one part at a time until the system is stable.
