Cyrus squatter using only a single core

[Jose Luis Rodriguez Garcia]

I am not a cyrux expert, but why are you worried that a core is loaded?

It means that the core is working on the task. Does the performance of the
server suffer because of this (response time to users, etc)?
I think that monitor for detect a high load in a core isn't appropriate
measure of performance. It can be useful for detected a hanged process that
takes all your cpu, or historical usages of the cores, but not for other
purposes.

I think that it is more appropriate measure the total usage of cpu of the
server.
