What I don't get is why MeasureCPU (well, MeasureCPUStringAndNumber) might produce values larger than 100. And if so, what is the maximum value that it can produce. Care to explain?
This is related to how the various Windows Performance Monitor counters (where the measure gets its data from) compute the values that the regular user calls "cpu usage". See:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ask-the-performance-team/windows-performance-monitor-overview/ba-p/375481
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/performance/cpu-usage-exceeds-100

The short version of it is that the maximum will depend on the hardware you have (e.g. processor features, number of cores, possible overclocking, the percent of the base frequency at which your processor and "cores" run at the moment of data retrieval, , etc). How that computation is done is something Microsoft knows, and it's not a fixed value.
