True Steve, I agree. It could also mean other things like if the resource
name was "Programmer" and they had a second guy to throw in the extra 20%.
However, we all need to keep in mind the laws of Physics will only let
someone do 1 hour of work in 1 hour.
Ah, but to digress... if the worker is able to perform better than what was
specified or assumed in the bid ... "A brick layer can lay 20 bricks an hour,
this is a 100 brick job so 5 hours" ... If some young buck hits the job and
says, hey I can lay 25 bricks an hour then his work rate has changed ... he
is creating more value per hour worked but can still only work 1 hour in 1
hour.
I need to go to bed...

Jim gave you the answer but be careful applying it. 120% means the resource
can give you ~10 man-hours of work during an 8-hour workday, something that
is physcially impossible. The most an individual can ever do is 100% where
1 man-hour of work is produced for each hour of time they put in.

Is it possible to change the threshold of when the resource histogram in
the
resource graph view from 100% to 120%?
Thanks in advance.
