                          I ran a program that reached CPU load of 39.99, obviously more than my 4 core CPU can handle but why when I killed the program, (which is killed), the CPU load doesn't drop to 0.50 when I didn't turn the program on?

Also, I noticed that CPU load doesn't go down to 0.5 like instantly after a program is killed, you need to wait for it to go down slowly. Why is that?
