Hyper-V CPU performance

Hello

I have a Hyper-V server working great but there is a strange behavior
regarding the CPU utilisation.

We have a software on one of the virtualized server that consumes a lot of
CPU (video encoding). When this software is working, the cpu on the guest
virtualized server goes up to 100%.
This is normal on my point of view.

BUT, I don't understand why:

1. Hyper-V reports that this virtualized server use 24% CPU in the hyper-V
MMC instead of 100%
2. The host server use only 1% of its CPU capacity.

See this screenshot for a better understanding:

My question is: What the hell? I thought that Hyper-v was a best choice for
merformance! I think I didn't set something somewhere but what?

Thank you for your help
