Stressed VM Resolution Question?

Hello

We have just purchased and installed the vCOP 5 product and I must say its giving us some very good insight into our environment.  Recently I have been reviewing some of the alerts that are being generated and I noticed we have a number of machines that report that there CPU stress is < 10%.  For starters if I understand Stress correctly it means that at some point in time in the past the VM has required more resources than its allocated (correct?), and if that is the case, how would one go about resolving a stress of 1%?  It seems to me that if the VM has 1 vCPU and a stress value of 1% wouldnt adding an additional processor be ALOT more overprovisioning than under?

Thanks.
