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. :)
