Well, a bit more digging shows that this seems to be an SDSF feature, showing which jobs are using zIIPs as a percent of all jobs using zIIPs, as RMF only shows the zCX address space rarely using the zIIPs.
During normal idling, RMF shows the zCX job using about 5% of a zIIP. Starting a container takes it up to about 30% for a minute or two.
So, false alarm...
Thanks for your patience :-)

Subject: Is it normal to have 100% zIIP usage even without any running containers?
Hi,
I've just started using zCX, basically only with the SSH CLI container active, and in SDSF I see the zCX address space running nearly always with 100% zIIP usage. I don't have SMT enabled yet. If I enable SMT will this change, or is it normal to have such high zIIP usage regardless of how many containers may be in use?
This is z/OS 2.5 at PUT2303/RSU2303.
Docker --version reports:
Docker version 20.10.12, build 20.10.12-0ubuntu2~20.04.1
Thanks,
Peter
