Hi,
What does this mean ?
Is my CPU usage maxxed out and choking my internet connection ?
Or is this normal use and there is still room ?
I can't tell.
Is there a better CPU usage indication, including per count ?
Example what I'm used to
How many cores does this have? 1.0 is one loaded core in a give time frame. If you have 4 cores, a fully loaded system has a load avg of 4.0. If the load avg is above 4.0 the system is overloaded.

Check"htop" for per-cpu detail.
load averages are number of processes queued for running, ie one running plus those contending for cpu time. Or if you look other way - all 50+/- processes sleep unless doing something valuable.
You can also install luci-app-statistics to get a per-core graphical CPU usage display.
It should be noted that computing and serving the Luci graph itself imposes a significant load on the CPU. This is why there is always a big peak when you first open the page.
