    This Azure counter is simply a recording of the Windows Performance Counter

    The simplest measure of a system’s
    busyness is Processor(_Total)\%
    Processor Time, which measures the
    total utilization of your processor by
    all running processes. Note that if
    you have a multiprocessor machine,
    Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time
    actually measures the average
    processor utilization of your machine
    (i.e. utilization averaged over all
    processors).
    from http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/key-performance-monitor-counters.html

    In Azure, I believe this counter is calculated over a fairly short sampling interval on each VM – so if you collect the sample every 10 seconds, say, then the instantaneous measurement will only tell you what was occurring near to each measurement point – it won’t necessarily reflect what was occurring inbetween measurements.
