How to interpret the use of CPU at 60% in a server system?

Using CPU at 60% in a server system means that 60% of the processor's computational resources are busy executing tasks.

This can be normal if the server is handling active requests or tasks. However, it's important to consider:

• Load and performance: If 60% is an average load and the server responds quickly, this is normal.
• Peak values: If 60% is a peak load and the CPU is idle at other times, this is also normal.
• Scaling potential: If the load is constantly high and close to 100%, consider optimization or scaling.

In Go programs, high CPU usage can be related to intensive computations or blocking operations. Profiling (pprof) and monitoring can help analyze this.
