On this system, I don't see how it could go to 99%CPU.  There just
isn't 99% of a CPU to give to faxq, it's busy with other things too.
That 69% is all the scheduler will give faxq.  If it had more CPU, it
would give it more.  But it doesn't, so it only get's 69%.

The load of 11 w/ 5.2%id, and 0%wa is an indication of a scheduler
trying it's hardest to be "fairly fair" giving CPU to processes that
are always asking for more than it can give...
