Can you try turning the CPU governor to performance before running  
your next set of tests. It should provide a clearer idea of true load.

sudo echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ 
scaling_governor
sudo echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/ 
scaling_governor

If you are running with ondemand there is a chance that your CPU isn't  
actually running at full speed  during your tests

Also can you provide the following output

ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/*

ls  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/*
