why cpu usage 200%

Running a (c++) game application process (server)(multi threaded) under RedHat linux version 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5, which is using mysql db version 5.0.27.GUI is written in flash(client). Client communicates with server thro' socket. C++ Process is running successfully for 2 days, but cpu usage of this process has been increasing gradually and reaching 200% and at the end of 48hrs, process has not been responding.But if i check the status using ps command, it shows status running.Why process is not responding after 48hrs? Why the cpu usage increasing?
How does one reach 200% of CPU usage?

It sounds like your C++ process has a memory leak (or some other resource leak).
