I am running a data migration, which involves some in-memory computation and heavy database i/o. Looking at how intensive this was the CPU use indicated by 'top' is 200% , I've seen percentages over 100% before, things like 107%...
How is this possible? I'm running the pharo inside a VMWare machine with 2 cores. The good thing is that even with such high CPU, I forked the execution at userBackgroundPriority and the UI remained responsive. After this CPU intensive task took place, the vm got back to the "insidious" ~5% CPU idle state. :) Esteban A. Maringolo
