Top command

On my server i use top command to monitor server loads at times,

It usually fluctuates between 89% to 99% (Free cpu) , this is most of the times,

Sometimes if gzip or something else is run the free cpu goes as low as 1 $ , but gzip is not used that much on the server as such , i use it just once in 2-3 days or so.

i want to know how much is considered an acceptable limit for free cpu usage.
What output do you get when top command are run on your server
