top output: cpu usage > 100%

I don't think I understand what top is telling me. I have a javac process that says that it's taking over 200% of CPU. That's in the process line. But at the top, I see:

Cpu(s):  5.2%us, 19.3%sy,  0.0%ni, 74.0%id,  0.1%wa,  0.0%hi,  1.5%si,  0.0%st

which is acceptable. What is that CPU % that's being reported to me in the process lines. It always freaks me out when I see it, then I look at the top and I feel a little bit better.
