Hi, Sorry for delay in answer.

I have reproduced it (but for myself it was like 101-103%). And it is exactly the numbers Windows returns as CPU utility via its API.

For me lower than 100% number looks like exactly the same as shows in Task Manager, so I suspect Windows itself just cut high numbers down to 100%.

This is well observed behavior and possibly related with TurboBoost-like technologies when CPU overclock itself for short amount of time.

As it is not affect graph, I do not see it as a bug.
