cpu usage is a machine characteristic - compareable to rpm - and 100% utilization is like being at the end of the red zone. Other than it is high it tells us nothing about the performance of the vehicle - such as mpg (miles per gallon) might.
In other words, study how linear your performance is, in application terms, compared to machine terms, and you will have the best approximation of an answer to your question.
hope this helps.

sys::statistics::linux::cpustats
Sys::Statistics::Linux::CpuStats(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Sys::Statistics::Linux::CpuStats(3pm)
NAME
Sys::Statistics::Linux::CpuStats - Collect linux cpu statistics.
SYNOPSIS
use Sys::Statistics::Linux::CpuStats;
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::CpuStats->new;
$lxs->init;
sleep 1;
my $stats = $lxs->get;
Or
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::CpuStats->new(initfile => $file);
$lxs->init;
my $stats = $lxs->get;
DESCRIPTION
Sys::Statistics::Linux::CpuStats gathers cpu statistics from the virtual /proc filesystem (procfs).
For more information read the documentation of the front-end module Sys::Statistics::Linux.
CPU STATISTICS
Generated by /proc/stat for each cpu (cpu0, cpu1 ...). cpu without a number is the summary.
user - Percentage of CPU utilization at the user level.
nice - Percentage of CPU utilization at the user level with nice priority.
system - Percentage of CPU utilization at the system level.
idle - Percentage of time the CPU is in idle state.
total - Total percentage of CPU utilization.
Statistics with kernels >= 2.6.
iowait - Percentage of time the CPU is in idle state because an I/O operation
is waiting to complete.
irq - Percentage of time the CPU is servicing interrupts.
softirq - Percentage of time the CPU is servicing softirqs.
steal - Percentage of stolen CPU time, which is the time spent in other
operating systems when running in a virtualized environment (>=2.6.11).
METHODS
new()
Call "new()" to create a new object.
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::CpuStats->new;
Maybe you want to store/load the initial statistics to/from a file:
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::CpuStats->new(initfile => '/tmp/cpustats.yml');
If you set "initfile" it's not necessary to call sleep before "get()".
It's also possible to set the path to the proc filesystem.
Sys::Statistics::Linux::CpuStats->new(
files => {
# This is the default
path => '/proc'
stat => 'stat',
}
);
init()
Call "init()" to initialize the statistics.
$lxs->init;
get()
Call "get()" to get the statistics. "get()" returns the statistics as a hash reference.
my $stats = $lxs->get;
raw()
Get raw values.
EXPORTS
No exports.
