With multiple CPU's and / or Cores, the windows task manager is reporting a CPU usage percentage based upon the total cumulative load measured across however many cpu's or cores, and will not necessarily reflect the actual CPU usage as seen by source. Granted, task manager is accurate when looking at the load being generated by a multi threaded program, however a srcds instance won't load balance across those other cores. So he could be seeing windows report that there is only 25% CPU utilization when in fact on a quad core the srcds instance could be using 90% or more, which is reflected in the results of running STAT.

I wonder what makes you think that in-game CPU stats are more accurate than those provided by standard OS utility?
