'htop' process and threads cpu usage?

Question

I'm observing a multi threaded process in htop in tree view. If I were to strip it just to the problematic part, it looks somewhat like this:

                  CPU%
 bin/process       100
  `- thread1        70
  `- thread2         0

The process all together is using 100% and one of the threads is using 70%. Where do I place the other 30%?

Solution

thread1 and thread2 are child threads spawned by the main process but the main process can still do work.

In your output of htop bin/process (and all child threads) are using 100% of cpu. 70% of the cpu is used by thread1 and 0% by thread2, the remaining (difference) is the main process that spawn/manages these child threads.
