I'm sure that others will be able to give you a more precise 
explanation, but it seems to me that your "top" report contradicts 
itself. It says that your system is 95 % idle, but at the same time it 
shows that mprime is using 100 % and 75 % of the CPU. (I assume that 
the way that "top" works with your Intel Core2 Duo is that it adds up 
to 200 %.)

If the part about your system being 95 % idle is correct, then it seems 
to me that Maxload is working properly.
