Not sure I understand.  Any numerics program will run something like 99.98% of
the CPU if you don't run anything else.  You wouldn't want it to take 100% or
no background system processing could complete, such as flushing disk buffers,
monitoring network activity, checking for user input, etc.  If you elevated a
compute bound job to highest priority you couldnt even do a 'ls' or a
'shutdown' or anything.  You *always* run compute bound software at a
background priority so other tasks can preempt it briefly and the compute task
consumes all 'available' CPU cycles.
