many shops in Poland and few abroad- each of them has free cycles, none

The only time we are NOT at 100% is when there is a problem stopping work from
getting through.
Accounting for s/w and h/w costs, we cannot afford to let this expensive
resource to idle.
Don't you depend on the customer traffic ? (*)
We're open 24x7, however our customers prefer business hours to access
us. In other words our cpu busy curve is curve, not horizontal bar.
There are periods when CPU is not 100% busy.
Our developers also have their resources assigned, they tend to work
during business hours also, they don't work at weekends or nightshift.
