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.

x86_energy_perf_policy
X86_ENERGY_PERF_POLICY(8) System Manager's Manual X86_ENERGY_PERF_POLICY(8)
NAME
x86_energy_perf_policy - read or write MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS
SYNOPSIS
x86_energy_perf_policy [-c cpu] [-v] -r
x86_energy_perf_policy [-c cpu] [-v] 'performance'
x86_energy_perf_policy [-c cpu] [-v] 'normal'
x86_energy_perf_policy [-c cpu] [-v] 'powersave'
x86_energy_perf_policy [-c cpu] [-v] n
DESCRIPTION
x86_energy_perf_policy allows software to convey its policy for the relative importance of performance versus energy savings to the proces-
sor.
The processor uses this information in model-specific ways when it must select trade-offs between performance and energy efficiency.
This policy hint does not supersede Processor Performance states (P-states) or CPU Idle power states (C-states), but allows software to
have influence where it would otherwise be unable to express a preference.
For example, this setting may tell the hardware how aggressively or conservatively to control frequency in the "turbo range" above the
explicitly OS-controlled P-state frequency range. It may also tell the hardware how aggressively is should enter the OS requested C-
states.
Support for this feature is indicated by CPUID.06H.ECX.bit3 per the Intel Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
Options
-c limits operation to a single CPU. The default is to operate on all CPUs. Note that MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS is defined per logical
processor, but that the initial implementations of the MSR were shared among all processors in each package.
-v increases verbosity. By default x86_energy_perf_policy is silent.
-r is for "read-only" mode - the unchanged state is read and displayed.
performance Set a policy where performance is paramount. The processor will be unwilling to sacrifice any performance for the sake of
energy saving. This is the hardware default.
normal Set a policy with a normal balance between performance and energy efficiency. The processor will tolerate minor performance compro-
mise for potentially significant energy savings. This reasonable default for most desktops and servers.
powersave Set a policy where the processor can accept a measurable performance hit to maximize energy efficiency.
n Set MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS to the specified number. The range of valid numbers is 0-15, where 0 is maximum performance and 15 is max-
imum energy efficiency.
NOTES
x86_energy_perf_policy runs only as root.
