Where are you reading the 20% from?

If it is from the per process line in top, then that 20% is of a single 
core/hyperthread.  It is not of the whole system.

If you have an otherwise quiescent server and the "Cpu(s)" summary line 
at the top says 20%us, then you can extrapolate to under 20% of the 
total system.
