If thats the case why does WoW not even use more than 20% cpu per instance? Like I said, when i'm running around willy nilly WoW is only using 50% of each core total between all 5 copies. Seems like if it was the CPU, I would be maxing it out.
Where does that number come from?

It actually can be somewhat complicated to figure out if a CPU is getting maxed out. Microsoft explains this here:

Edit: on second thought that page probably won't help but I'm still curious where that number comes from.
