# CPU_USAGE_% = [(NEW_USED - OLD_USED) / CPU_MHZ] / [(NEW_UPTIME - OLD_UPTIME) / CPU_MHZ]
cpuUsage = (float(newCont.getUsedtime() - oldUsedtime) / cpuCycles) / (float(newCont.getUptime() - oldUptime) / cpuCycles)

The other day I was doing some refactoring of the code and suddenly realized that it was kind of stupid what I did in that formula: dividing both terms by CPU_MHZ.

I believe the rest remained the same.
