>Is still bad to put velocity goals higher than 80% ? In IMHO it is.
...

Empirically, if you don't have I/O as part of the velocity equation, you can 
never achieve a velocity of more that 45-50.

With I/O, the issue is not what you set it to. Rather, can you achieve it.

If you set it to high, any goal will be unachievable. And, sometimes the 
SRM/WLM tandem will throw up its (metiphorical) hands, in disgust, and do 
nothing for the workload.

If you need to achieve a goal, and aren't, find our why.
And, fix it.

Setting arbitrary rules (of thumb) and sticking to them is not performance 
analysis.
