Should I be worried if my CPU is at 100%?
If the CPU usage is around 100%, this means that your computer is trying to do more work than it has the capacity for. This is usually OK, but it means that programs may slow down a little. You can try to free up some system memory by closing some programs. If things get too slow, try restarting the computer.
Can you overuse your Macbook Pro?

What happens when MacBook Pro is on CPU overload?
Okay let’s back to help me. 2: When CPU OVERLOAD is on, EVERYTHING SLOW. But if I close the MacBook up about 30 secs then open it back, CPU Load is back to Normal, but 5~10 mins passed, it will back.
What does it mean when CPU usage is more than 100%?
Multiple CPUs (cores) and an app having multiple execution threads, means each available CPU could be used in part or 100% for a sum in the Activity Monitor display greater than 100%. Thanks for your explanation. But it is interesting that I never observed the same on my Mac Pro mid 2012.
