The issue is one of scale. Perfmon (the graph on your PC window) can't display the entirety of the data (that is, if you have 20,000 data points, it doesn't build a graph with all of those data points and then shrink the graph). Instead perfmon looks at how many pixels it has to display a graph, calculates how many data points that is, and picks that many data points. On average, in general, that works out OK.
If you have significant outliers - which is the case in your case example - it doesn't work out OK. The CSV is accurate. ...If you have follow-on questions, please post them on this mailing list so that others can benefit from the discussion.

Which one is correct? why 92% max not showing in graph? it was using default threashold 15 sec.
