Hi Dheeraj,

I don't think this is an issue. CPU 100% utilization is reported on every IPS (appliance or ASA software module) and it should be normal.

If you want to see if your device is getting more traffic than it can process, you should look at inspection load.

I hope this will help and it would be nice if someone from Cisco team could reply to this.
