Increased precision of the CPU utilization value #102

Closed airtaxi closed 2 years ago

airtaxi commented 2 years ago

Applied new PerformanceCounter parameter that matches the CPU usage value of the Windows Task Manager.

Good to reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/performance/cpu-usage-exceeds-100

The change made by @airtaxi in this PR will make the program use the value which reflects actual processor activity. I tested this in my forked repo and works great, so I recommend to merge this ;)

new PerformanceCounter("Processor Information", "% Processor Utility", "_Total"); is way too not accurate on my machine, instead I got a more precise result (nearly same as task manager) by this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46737880/8883824
