I'd much prefer it shot up to 100% or else every time the cpu usage went 
up there'd be an obvious lag till the machine ran at it's capable speed. 
  I very much doubt the small amount of time it spent at 100% speed with 
the default design would decrease the battery life significantly as well.

Cheers,
