There must be some averaging going on in there.
If I create a ton of synths in SuperCollider (driving up the DSP load), the
% load takes a few seconds to show the actual load. When I remove those
synths, it again takes a few seconds for the display to fall back to its
baseline level.
In any case, the display is definitely not an instantaneous reading.

Note that it's an
average and not a maximum number, so conventional wisdom is to keep it
under 60% or so, to avoid xruns (ymmw).
Last time I looked at that part of the Jack code it was
the maximum over the last N periods (with N = 1000 or so).
But things could have changed since then.
