Resource Allocation

Hey, I have recently tried to test out how my processor handles the amount of voices being produced because I purchased a new computer. I started by opening up massive and setting the number of voices per note to 64. Ableton reported my CPU usage at 150% but there was no increase in fan speed so I decided to open up Windows task manager which went from 4% to 14%. I'm curious as to why Ableton reports 150% when barely any of my CPU is being utilized. My processor is an Intel 2630QM, I realize Ableton is a 32 bit application but I still would expect better utilization of my resources. Is anyone able to help elaborate on why this is occurring?
