This is not an error, but a question of how 100% CPU usage is defined.
IMHO, this is a matter of style and taste.

Some applications define "100% CPU" as utilizing all cores (which jvmtop also 
does).
You prefer default top-style which defines CPU usage as per-core.

The best thing would be to be able to configure this definition (which top also 
allows).
Logging as enhancement, patches are welcome.

Comparison of jvmtop cpu data vs top cpu data for same process. Note that 
jvmtop is taking sample nearly every second whereas top samples are once every 
60 seconds top command looks like:
top -b -d 60 >> cpu.txt
