When comparing multiple tests, "Average Cycles Utilized(M)" and "Average Cycles Available(M)" tell a more comparable story.

However note that this is still a percentage of the amount of cycles available, which could differ between different tests. But if the CPU frequencies are variable during the test, the "Cycles Utilized(%)" might give a more honest picture of the amount of workload on the system. If the CPU frequency is fairly stable during the measurements, these values will be quite similar. If you use the -copy-friendly argument you get a minimized output separated by tabs, this allows it to be piped into clipboard and pasted into Google Sheets as two columns.
