About this tag
The tag procexp refers to Process Explorer, a Sysinternals utility for monitoring Windows processes and CPU usage. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover how procexp reports CPU utilization, including observations that on multi-core systems, individual processes may appear limited to 1/N of total CPU capacity (e.g., 50% on dual-core, 25% on quad-core). Users explore whether this reflects actual throttling or reporting behavior. The tool is frequently mentioned alongside other Sysinternals apps like Procmon. Topics include interpreting procexp data, comparing CPU limits across Windows versions, and understanding process-level performance on multi-CPU systems.

    for N CPU's = % avg CPU / process= 1/N x100% Why? RPC throttle or what?

    Examples are MS Office, WordPerfect(Qpro 2020), LibreOffice and ProcExp, Procmon all having this 1/N x 100% for N CPU limit utilization. This reminds me of my 3rd employer Burrough's as Test Eng. Mgr when I heard all Mainframes had full speed but marketting sold keys to clients too CPU...
