When I have 2-3 compilation processes running entirely in memory and an
empty cycle (for (;;) {}) I only see 6-20% CPU load of each process.
Total that 'top -C' never even approaches 100% that it actually should
be and is usually ~40%.
'load averages' field though becomes high: over 3.
Why CPU load never goes to 100%?
