It isn't completely straightforward, since the %CPU values are all
"normalized" on a per-host basis.  A similar example is a two node
cluster made of an old slow Pentium II, and a newer P4.  The P2 can be
maxed out (not hard to do), and the P4 won't even have broken a sweat.
 Yet, the cluster still reports at "50% used."

In your case, there's some hope.  The number of CPUs per host is
stored in the cpu_num.rrd file.  For the cpu_reports, it might be
possible to work this into the chart generation.
