It's a dual processor machine, but is this normal? Windows bug?

That is normal behavior. If you have dual processor system, CPU usage may grow up to 200%. If you have two dualcore processors, CPU usage may grow up to 400%.

If you want to monitor CPU usage for each processor, you may use "WMI" test method with the query, like the following:

Code: Select all

Select LoadPercentage from Win32_Processor WHERE DeviceID='CPU0'

For each processor you should use particular test with different DeviceID: CPU0, CPU1, CPU2, etc.
