Summary
Hyper-V performance can be optimized by making good purchase decisions, setting a target density level, and using the Microsoft Virtualization Manager (MVM) to manage the system.
1
The CPU usage shown by Hyper-V Manager is how much CPU is being consumed across the entire system, even though inside the VM the virtual CPUs may be very busy.

According to
CPU statistics. Hyper-V publishes performance counters to help characterize the behavior of the virtualization server and report the resource usage. The standard set of tools for viewing performance counters in…

Summary
For example, a 22% usage shown by Hyper-V Manager equates to about a 92% CPU utilization inside the VM.
So it appears that the CPU Usage that you see in Hyper-V Manager is how much CPU is this VM consuming across the entire system even though inside the VM the virtual CPUs may be VERY busy.

Summary
Each time the scheduler executes it, it consumes 100% of the core that it lands on. The next time it runs, it stays on the same core or goes to the other core. Whichever core the scheduler assigns it to, it consumes 100%.
