This is kinda confusing.
Your cpus are being utilized because if your system's idle state is at 5% that means the sytem is under heavy use.
if your sytem was at something higher like in the 90s then you can decide if the cpus are being utilized.
bottom line is idle percent number of 5% indicates your systems is heavily being used
