I'm guessing you have a 4 cpu box:
1 99 percent busy process on a 4 way box == about 25% busy overall.

It's not expected, unless you are running some very long-running query.
The conflict between what top says and what mpstat says is strange; I
wonder if you might have a buggy version of one of them? You should
probably check some other tools (try "vmstat 1" for instance) to see if
you can get a consensus on whether the CPU is maxed out or not ...
