Here is an explanation, 15 years later...

The CPU usage simulator is a diagnostic tool to simulate how your computer behaves when Live demands a lot from your CPU.

The CPU simulator only kicks in when you activate the Test Tone to 'on' in the same area on the page.

Give it a try - turn the test tone on, and observe how the CPU meter in the top right of live (between MIDI and 'D') hits the exact value specified in the CPU usage simulator.
