It will take 5 (not so) random snapshots of the CPU usage at that moment.

If you want to monitor averages you could gather statistics wit RRD and
read the CPU counter to store those.

You can then also use RRD to check for the average over the last N minutes.

Sounds like a fun thing to make. But I get a lot of those
 in the queue and no immediate need for this particular fun project.
