Imagine a host with 4 CPUs and 4 GB of RAM. Imagine a guest with one CPU and 512 MB of RAM. If it maxes out its resources, it'll show as using 25% CPU and 12.5% of RAM. This is relative to the host, but that's not really meaningful when you're looking at the guest. Instead, those numbers should be relative to the guest, so it'd be 100% and 100%. As a special case, when the startup and maximum RAM are the same, it should just show the amount (512 MB) because a constant 100% isn't really useful.
The numbers on the main virt-manager screen (as opposed to on the detail of a specific host) are harder to define. I can make a case for both sets of numbers. I would argue that both should be available (in separate columns), but the relative-to-guest columns should be hidden by default.
