%Cpu(s): 0.8 us, 2.0 sy, 0.0 ni, 25.0 id, 72.1 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.2 si, 0.0 st
72% of your CPU power is stuck waiting for I/O operations to complete. If I had to guess, your USB medium is connected to a port running directly from the motherboard's chipset rather than a PCI card, and it's jumping to the front of the line.

i guess you're right,i tried another port and wa is almost same so i guess all of my USB ports run directly from the motherboard's chip-set , is there any way to fix that even a little bit ?

Beside, I had 25% idle CPU so why did it act like its stuck at 100%

Not shown: the number of cores; if your GUI composter thread was on the same core as the USB I/O thread, for instance, that might cause this sort of thing.

That 72% of power is not stuck, really. It's just the percentage of time spent waiting for I/O doing nothing, basically a different type of idle.
– Ferenc Wágner
Oct 11 '17 at 12:57
If it's committed to waiting for an I/O operation to complete and cannot be allocated to other processes, that's close enough to 'stuck' or at the very least 'unavailable' for the purposes of this question, in my opinion.

If it's committed to waiting for an I/O operation to complete and cannot be allocated to other processes, that's close enough to 'stuck' or at the very least 'unavailable' for the purposes of this question, in my opinion.

i guess you're right,i tried another port and wa is almost same so i guess all of my USB ports run directly from the motherboard's chip-set , is there any way to fix that even a little bit ?

Beside, I had 25% idle CPU so why did it act like its stuck at 100%

Not shown: the number of cores; if your GUI composter thread was on the same core as the USB I/O thread, for instance, that might cause this sort of thing.

That 72% of power is not stuck, really. It's just the percentage of time spent waiting for I/O doing nothing, basically a different type of idle.
