Out of spec of what is normal for you.  So if you're doing heavy cpu things
then maybe 90% cpu utilization is okay, but 100% utilization of two of your
cpus might raise your eyebrows.  What would be out of spec for you in your
workflow?

Why did you assume that this is something exclusionary?  I'm trying to say
that system behaviour tuned relative to your workflow integrates better with
GNOME 3 design and really what we should be shooting for.

See my point above about being relatively out of spec for your workflow.
