CPU column shows peculiar activity

Not sure what that's supposed to mean:

On multicore systems, this is representative of the container processes utilizing 100% of at least two cores during the current polling interval.

e.g. on a four-core system, a container at 200% CPU utilization would put your total system utilization at 50%

I see..., should we show 50% instead of 200% then? :)

The current behavior is general accepted, as CPU% for containers running on differently configured hosts would provide differing metrics for identical workloads otherwise.

Per-CPU breakdown usage is a possible feature for future releases.

Is there a way to fix the graphs so that I can differentiate containers using 100% CPU from those using 400% CPU at a glance? Currently once it reaches 100%, it always looks the same?

The latest v0.7 release includes a -scale-cpu option to display CPU utilization as a % of system total
